Blair, Ahern urged to lobby Bush on emigrants
Tony Blair and Bertie Ahern should lobby US President George W Bush to relax laws which prevent Irish emigrants from returning home each Christmas, they were urged today.
SDLP Assembly member Eugene McMenamin called on the British and Irish leaders to use their influence with the White House to help illegal emigrants in the US from both sides of the border who are not able to return to their families each Christmas.
