President Trump yesterday hailed the”tremendous” contributions of Irish Americans and their descendants. He said nothing about the approximately 50,000 undocumented Irish immigrants living in the U.S.
While the white English-speaking Irish are less likely to be targeted by ICE agents than Latinos, remember that Trump is asking Congress for billions for detention centers and deportations. Irish immigrants who are here without papers will be caught up in this anti-immigrant fervor.
