Obama visit sparks call to help undocumented migrants

THE visit of Barack Obama gives hope to the undocumented living here and in the US, the Migrant Rights Centre of Ireland has said.

According to the MRCI there are 30,000 undocumented migrants, including children and families, living in Ireland who require a humanitarian solution.

Edel McGinley of the MRCI said that just like the Irish in the US, they are deeply rooted within our communities, working, paying taxes and trying to make a better life for themselves and their families.
