While shamrocks and smiles typically define the Irish prime minister’s traditional St. Patrick’s Day visit to the White House, with President Donald Trump the celebration could turn more serious.
Taoiseach Enda Kenny has signaled that he will use the meeting — scheduled for Thursday, one day before St. Patrick’s Day — to talk about Brexit and Trump’s immigration policies. Kenny, who labeled Trump’s language “dangerous” during the campaign, has said it is important to keep the standing date, which some critics have suggested he should cancel.
Speaking to The Irish Times, Kenny said, “European leaders need to be over here talking to Republicans, Democrats and the administration about what membership of the European Union means and the relationship that it can have with as powerful an entity as the United States.”
Earlier this year, Trump said Britain’s decision to leave the European Union would “end up being a great thing” and predicted the bloc would continue to break apart. The comments echoed Trump’s rhetoric during his presidential campaign. …

Yeah, yeah, yeah Lucky. Here’s a shot of whiskey and a potato now beat it.
I've got a positive outcome for you. Take them back with you. If they're here illegally they're NOT WELCOME!
I wish Trump would wear orange to the meeting with this commie.
(That is an Archer reference incase anyone doesn't get it)
Kenny wouldn’t take kindly to a mass colonization of US citizens who came to Ireland illegally, I don’t think. Or would he? Perhaps it ought to be put to the test.
How many illegal immigrants does Ireland have, and how do they deal with them?
LOL
Go home Paddy, and take yer illegal alien brethren with you. Ireland has exported a lot of it’s citizens to the US over the years. We’re full up now and don’t need any more Democrats. You might try improving your own economy so your people have decent jobs and won’t need to leave to prosper. And I say that as an American of Irish ancestry and in light of St.Patricks day coming shortly (although it’s not celebrated in the motherland like it is here in the States, where it’s an excuse to drink [not that yours truly ever needed an excuse]). Slainte and goodbye.
Yep.
He'll be flyin' the colors!

Another world leader who thinks he can insult our President and then ask for (or is it demand) something.
There are an estimated 50,000 Irish citizens illegally in this country.
Ireland has had a significant net loss of population during the past ten years or so. Economics has been part of it, but there are a lot of reasons. Ireland has a lot of people coming to it as well as leaving mostly because the Irish (as an ethnic group) will find fellow Irishmen wherever they go, and they fit in nicely too being friendly and even charming people. Many of the Irish who relocate overseas do so because they have advanced degrees and experience, and seek positions and promotions in the global economy, that aren’t open in their small country.
Our immigration laws are completely obsolete and should be changed so that people who are self-supporting have the priority for legal immigration. We don’t need any more criminals or welfare recipients. But, as for the idea that we are going to give and give and give, no. If we amend our immigration laws so as to legalize Irish citizens who are illegally here, what’s in it for us? What’s our motivation?
Ireland is not part of NATO and we don’t have a free trade agreement with Ireland. While I think all Americans think well of the Irish people, we’ve got to ask that our relations with other countries are based on win-win, not on us giving and them receiving.
It seems every country in the world wants to have a say in our immigration policy.
They have recognized that debt by granting citizenship to those with an Irish grandparent. Today, many Brits are using their Irish heritage to gain that citizenship as a key to the European Union after Brixet.
Run for it!
They’re making Irish Butter and Irish Stew!
Pretend to be French!
Here’s a French song to sing!
“Fairy jocks.
Fairy jocks.
Dorm may view?
Dorm may view?
Sunny lay martinis.
Sunny lay martinis.
Ding dong sing.
Ding dong sing.”
