“Also we're working hard on creating a new channel for Irish people who want to come and work in the US because we know there is a demand.”

“The E3 Visa is not a substitute for legalisation. It's a compliment to legalisation.”

Few, if any, of the undocumented Irish enteren the U.S. illegally. They all speak English and almost none seeks social welfare benefits. They are much more deverving of amnesty and permanent visas that are those Illegal aniens who came here unlawfully, speak little or no English and avail themselves of generous hand-outs at the expense of the U.S. taxpayers.
