There were divided opinions on RTÉ's The Undocumented last night

RTÉ aired The Undocumented last night, a documentary that showed what life is like for undocumented Irish in Donald Trump's America.

The documentary followed six Irish people who are undocumented and living in the US.

It looked at the struggles people have in finding work despite having lived in the US for many years with some there for over a decade or more.

Some of the interviewees said they lived in fear, and always felt uncomfortable to a certain degree at being caught.

#Undocumented - on an issue close to my heart - is compelling viewing on @RTEOne. Some very human stories behind the cold statistics.

RTE's #undocumented shining a light on reality for illegal Irish in America. V moving stories. Love the Priest & the carpenter from Tralee.

"I'm just like one of those people who are trying to get over that wall." Refreshing, much-needed bit of self-awareness there #undocumented

Good for that undocumented from Tralee making the point that there's nothing different between him and Hispanic illegals #Undocumented

Shocked at the lack of sympathy on hashtag #undocumented Perhaps they don't know the personal stories of some, anyone from Pomeroy would.

But some people were not so impressed.

The sense entitlement on this show is disgusting. Your visa is finished? Leave. Simple as. #undocumented

Something so duplicitous & intellectually conniving about calling Irish illegal immigrants in US 'undocumented'. #undocumented #hypocrisy
