Government failing undocumented in the US — and at home in Ireland

Your coverage of the failure to resolve the issue of undocumented Irish during the White House meeting between Taoiseach Enda Kenny and US President Barack Obama (Stalled US immigration progress ‘disappointing’, March 18) will have brought St Patrick’s Day celebrations in many homes to a swift end.

Like others before him the Taoiseach deserves every support in his efforts to clear the logjam which is leaving many caught in a black economy and cut off from their loved ones.

Your coverage references proposals put forward by Mr Kenny to try and resolve the issue, including visa waivers and a new legal route for people to start a life in the US.
