Many undocumented Irish are fed up and heading for home

Thee are 20,000,000 uneducated Mexicans floating around. Even at Industrial rates it would take 14 years to truck them all back. Homeland security is going after Visa violators???? Well, that means Obama's family is on the next boat.

To mr. Bunkerhill and all those people out there who believes that illegal aliens are here in the U.S on welfare, to get things straight if you are here in the U.S illegally you cannot get any of the following social benefits: food stamps, welfare checks, unemployment, section 8 housing, medicaid, SSI, SSD and after 9/11, State's IDs and driver licence. To conclude, in 2011 most if not all people living off the government are in fact born and raised in America.

Good, now if all of the illegal Chinese, Russian, Mexican, Canadian, etc, will follow suit maybe we can put some Americans back to work.

When uncontrolled immigration is allowed in any country it will attract a lot of undesirables to immigrate illegally. A lot of these illegal immigrants come for less than honorable reasons. They come to scam the welfare system, to live a criminal lifestyle or to take advantage of a countries generosity. When countries lose control of who enters their country the standard of living falls for the rest of its citizens.

Oaklongan: What you say is sad but true. It's depressing to read the Irish newspapers on line. Even today's Irish newspaper has more violence by immigrants in Ireland: "A mob went on a wave of random race violence in Temple Bar, which left five Dubliners with horrific injuries. One man -- a Dublin DJ -- was almost killed in the attack as he suffered serious head injuries when he was set upon by the gang. The level of violence has shocked gardai and the many witnesses to the race hate orgy -- believed to be the first of its kind in the city. One member of the African gang was arrested today in pre-dawn raids by detectives across the capital. Five Dubliners, all aged in their 20s, were left with horrific injuries in the October 2010 attacks, which have only come to light now. "

In past Irish history it used to be signs on businesses saying "Irish need not apply." Today it is posted across the USA. My home state is on the Canadian border and I can tell you there is one group that lines up every night to enter the US illegally with impunity. The border stations if you can believe it are closed from midnight to 6 am. Minutes after midnight busloads of Russians and Israelis make their way down to the NYC area and they seem to have plenty of money. They then move into exclusive areas in the NYC area and set up enclaves which no one else can enter. It was even written about in our local paper but not one word is spoken about this secret. How can this be in the US of A? Every illegal alien problem is centered to our southern border, while the real problem is at the northern border. Every politician knows about this huge influx, but the money is too good so they are very silent. These illegal immigrants from Russia and Israel, while controlling the diamond market, (and the UK) often live on welfare. Again every politician knows this but again the money is too good. I would say to the Irish who were forced to enter the US illegally, go back to your beautiful homeland and keep you country and culture alive. The international banks will be caught, Ireland will recover and Ireland will belong to the Irish. I am ashamed that my country has an "Irish need not apply sign." Maybe we will join you if the Irish would have us.

Whether you are Mexican or Irish or Martian- if you are in the USA illegally you need to LEAVE. The best thing an Irish-American can do for the Irish is to help make IRELAND a better place not bring more illegals to an already overburdened USA.

They are not undocumented, they are illegal. Get the facts straight. They broke the laws of the land. They have stolen from America and Americans.

All the posts on immigration of people into Ireland who are incompatible, and worse, with the culture of its people and land is utterly dismaying...

mamaginnty, I mention Vargus because he was Filipino, and I do not think it fair to pick just on those Hispanics coming over the border within 400 miles of me, only to see Filipinos, making up a majority of my extended family, doing the same. I mention gay because I spent two days and today debating someone concerning church was wrong on gay issue, only to have my comments purged...basically for them being reasonable. I have on the white side of my family, a gay person who has given his immediate family Hell on earth...even when much mercy was spent. He bought into the enslaving concept that his homosexuality was genetic...well if his homosexuality was not genetic his HIV now certainly is...that is where the virus attaches. Mamaginnty are you Filipino?

Would any of them like to buy a house on the Offaly/Roscommon/Westmeath border. 4 bed on 1 acre including contents excellent condition. for lesst than 200k

with their irish born subjects the brits know full well how their american colonies were lost. Their king wailed at his loss. Yet for this irish contribution they are treated like any other johnny come lately and are sent a packing from the america that came into being due to Irish hatred of oppressor England. Of course today with little history to draw from, the USA cleaves to the Saxon Mother for meaning. Only nice thing about it, now oligarchs hold sway and keeps things tidy for themselves and their tribe.

PHaeniUS, I see now the real reason why you mentioned Vargus, you are against gay people.

Five years service in The US ARMY Got my Grand Father his Papers. It wasent as much fun as working in a BAR. And for the rest of his life he lived and died an American. Nuff said.

Best of luck to those leaving or staying. The Irish are beautiful people,who add class and a good work ethic when they come to N. America. Don't rule out Canada as a place to live. We need more Irish in Vancouver !!
