Bill would not aid undocumented Irish in the US

TWO Republican senators introduced another new bill aimed at assisting Irish people who wish to acquire US working visas in Washington DC yesterday.

However the proposed law, the Irish Immigration Reform and Encouragement Act, would not include undocumented immigrants already in the US.

Similar to Tuesday’s move by New York senator Chuck Schumer, the two Republicans, Scott Brown of Massachusetts and Mark Kirk of Illinois, suggested 10,500 renewable visas.
