Irish US illegals call for ‘fairer’ visa system
The illegal immigrants face a 10-year ban on returning to the States if they return home and are caught coming back.
Instead they are choosing to stay in the US in the hope they will be granted residency rights through the green card scheme. The Irish Lobby for Immigration Reform (ILIR) reckons the US is home to 50,000 illegal immigrants. A weekend pro-immigration rally in New York saw 1,100 campaigners hear how illegals were being forced into staying by US immigration laws.
