Ah! It is white people! From Ireland, here illegally...we can’t throw them out! The rules have to be completely different for white people!

Oh, wait. They are illegal. Never mind, treat them exactly like every other illegal.

“It’s really indiscriminate. ICE, in their aggressive tactics of detention, are going after the Irish as much as they’re going after any other nationality,” says Ronnie Millar, director of the Irish International Immigrant Center in Boston.

...

It’s really nice to know that Trump isn’t discriminating. That would be wrong.

That’s the funny thing. This is a reverse case, where the parents are already legal. In fact it says they were legal before he was born... and yet they never bothered to legalize him. Maybe they didn’t think they needed to. Crazy.

So wait: now ICE being *indiscriminate* is a problem? Is it then NPR’s position that ICE should be going after some groups more aggressively than others?

“There’s a lot of people from El Salvador, a lot of Guatemalans, couple of Haitian people, and I’m the only Irish in the whole facility.”

...

I bet he feels like he’s in a shthole.

I don’t care where fraudulently documented foreigners are from, they need to be removed from my country and returned to their own.

I’m Irish (and Lebanese), and I say good.

I don’t care where you are from illegally. Even if you are a Martian. Good back. Thank you.

My apologies! Then it should be a simple documentation update to make him legal. Unless they were here illegally, originally.

This is NPR trying to put something out there that is going to sway the Trump backer away from their position... not understanding of course that enforcement of immigration law is not RACISM!

They think, we show white folks getting deported Trump will lose support... the support for enforcement will lose support...

Because everyone knows Trump supporters are all racist yokels.

Hey NPR.... WE ARE GLAD THAT ANYONE HERE, REGARDLESS OF SKIN COLOR THAT SHOULD NOT BE IS GETTING DEPORTED!

O'Riordan was born in Galway, Ireland. Both of his parents had lived in Massachusetts before he was born and already had green cards. They brought Dylan from Ireland to the Boston area in 2010 on a visitor's visa when he was 12 years old. He overstayed his 90-day visa, and began living his life like any other American teenager, though he was unauthorized.

Why the h*ll didn't one of his parents get US citizenship and then apply for a green card for their son. Having a merit system for legal immigrants is a good idea. If you're too dense to apply for a green card and then citizenship then suffer the consequences.

If it keeps out the O'Brians and Murphys, I'm okay with it.
