Enda Kenny welcomes US immigration plan
He welcomed reports that a major announcement next week could be reassuring for many of the approximately 50,000 Irish living in the US without residency status but was also cautious not to impose himself on the impassioned debate over one of President Barack Obama’s key targets for the remaining two years of his occupancy of the White House.
It was revealed in the New York Times that Mr Obama will sign into law an executive order that would prevent immigration officials from deporting any individual with American born offspring.
