Undocumented Irish-born: We must care for children born here

In March of last year Leo Varadkar proposed a deal with the United States offering visas and residence rights to Americans who want to move to Ireland in exchange for protection for the undocumented Irish in the US.

It was recognition on the part of the Irish Government that there are still thousands of Irish people who are living on the margins of society in the US because their status as immigrants has never been legitimised.
