Ireland Supports U.S. Effort for Immigration Reform (LINK)

Late last year, speaking at the Mission of Our Lady of the Rosary in New York City, Ireland's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Michael Martin, asked those of Irish ancestry in the U.S. to "rally around immigration reform."  With an estimated 50,000 undocumented immigrants from Ireland in the U.S., Mr. Martin noted that "The Irish government has articulated our concerns to Obama himself.  And there's a need for the [Irish] community here to be supportive."  He noted that a large number of the undocumented Irish immigrants are university graduates.  The Irish government is hopeful that reform might take place in the first three months of 2010, and the question of undocumented Irish will be part of a comprehensive review of the immigration system.  For more information about undocumented Irish immigrants, click here:  http://legalizetheirish.org
