Illegal Immgrants Protest

[Taffy_is_a_Taff]

about the rally, I'd missed John McCain, but it was sucking up all round:

"“It is so heartening to see you here,” said Clinton. “You are really here on behalf of what America means, America’s values, America’s hopes.”

“You are doing what democracy is supposed to be all about, petitioning the government to right a wrong,” said McCain."

Why not try "go home, get a visa, the U.S. govt. gives visas to Irish people like candy to kids at halloween. You'll be fine."


"Another item in the Irish Times, with the headline “Irish rally to press for legal status in America,” said: “More than 2,400 undocumented Irish immigrants and their supporters rallied in Washington yesterday in support of an immigration reform bill that would allow them to remain in the U.S. legally.” This report further noted that “Senators Kennedy, John McCain, Hillary Clinton and Charles Schumer addressed the demonstrators, who wore white T-shirts with the slogan ‘Legalize the Irish.’”"


2400, you could round those up, it's just the pesky legal ones and Irish Americans that you'd have to go through to get the ones you want.

Edit: here's Hilary from 2003:
"I am, you know, adamantly against illegal immigrants. Clearly we have to make some tough decisions as a country, and one of them ought to be coming up with a much better entry-and-exit system so that if we are going to let people in for the work that otherwise would not be done, let's have a system that keeps track of them... People have to stop employing illegal immigrants."

Edit: also, 50 000 is total estimate of Irish illegals, in case anybody is interested.

Edit: about sarcasm, maybe a little.
