FAFO, lads.
Hard to find sympathy for the modern day Irish undocumented in America given they did this out of choice vs necessity. Absolute worst case they are sent back to Ireland, hardly a 3rd world with no job prospects or safety issues.
Fears among people in a country illegally over facing consequences of said actions
Didn’t they have the same fears 4 years ago? What happened then?
Obey the immigration/residency rules of the country you wish to reside in. End of.
Well… 🤷🏻♂️
“Brian” and “Martin” don’t sound too bothered, to be honest.
Funny how we Irish refer to them as *”undocumented”* while others are *”illegal immigrants”*!
This shit always annoyed me. What makes our illegals special vs others? If anything the consequences of them getting deported back here are a damn sight better than those from other countries.
Why would anyone want to stay in, or even visit the US under Trump/Musk?
They have a choice.
I have very little sympathy with this.
If you go somewhere and break the law then why are you so shocked when there are consequences for that? I know things a little more nuanced than that un America but still.
Also I feel even less sympathy for Irish people in particular. This is not the 1800s, or the 1950s or even the 1980s. Nobody is going to America out of dire economic necessity right now. This is just people taking shortcuts.
I know plenty of Irish who now have citizenship and went through this… and still voted for trump. It’s mind blowing.
I know someone who was a friend of my brothers that is undocumented.
During the first trump administration he made sooooo many posts on Facebook about how great Trump was, profile picture was a maga hat selfie and everything.
Blocked me as soon as I commented on one of his anti immigrant posts pointing out he was still an illegal immigrant too ha
Gonna be honest, no pity. If you aren’t there legally then tough luck 🤷🏿♂️. Besides it’s not like they’d be getting sent back to some war torn nation
No sympathy for any illegal immigrants worried about the law being enforced.
Don’t be an illegal immigrant and you won’t have this issue.
I have no sympathy for these people, you took the risk now live with it – your actions have consequences. Plenty of other countries they could have gone to legally.
Illegal economic migrants, not ‘undocumented’.
What’s different for them this time around vs the last time he was president? Genuine question.
These fears come up every election. It’s not really something we should be condoning.
Welcome home, folks
Well they’re white, so they’ll fly under the radar
They are there illegally. They knew what they were doing.
