Immigration reformers should make a very clear distnction between the 2 main categories of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. One grounp entered the country ILLEGALLY,apeak little or no English, show no interest in assimilating, don't pay any taxes and avail themselves of government hand-outs, the others come here on visitors' visas, are very fluent in English, have much to contribute to the nation, do nor recieve free benefit and are eager to assimilate.

At last a republican with commonsense facing up to the realities of the immigration problem. The facts are less immigrants are crossing the border now (under Obama) than under Bush.

"Irish-American"? At McCarthy's Wikipedia page there is little indication of his background other than that he's Baptist. No mention of an Irish heritage. ......................................... If Americans who have a Gaelic or otherwise Irish-sounding name are automatically of Irish extraction, then does that mean that those without Irish type names are excluded?

I think it stinks.I dont like amnesty for ILLEGALs it just gives others more incentive to come here illegally. Not one bill has addressed securing the border.They are just whistling in the wind to do it the wrong way around.

McCarthy- this Nation is not yours to give away to illegal, criminal, aliens- even if they are Irish. Just another politician that has no respeect for the rule of law. Becareful, McCarthy, or you will experience an unanticipated blow back from law abiding citizen- if you betray them.

So, the Republican controlled House of Representatives will pass the pathway to citizenship for undocumented residents in the US according to Republican strategist McCarthy? Fascinating. Hope Kerry O'Shea has this right.
