"Our increasing prosperity is a phenomenon that all Irish people should take pride in. However, we should never forget the trauma of those who were forced to emigrate in less fortunate times or neglect those who remain in need today.
of course our own government of which dermot is part, makes sure that the undocumented persons here can travel home to their countries when the same circumstances arise."Our new prosperity at home brings new responsibilities towards our communities abroad, particularly those who feel marginalised and isolated. The undocumented Irish in the United States are one such group."
Mr Ahern said while the undocumented were committed to building their lives in America, they also longed to have the opportunity to visit Ireland without fear of being denied re-entry.
"I am deeply conscious of how traumatic it is for an undocumented person to learn of a serious illness or death of a loved one in Ireland and be unable to visit the hospital or attend the funeral," he said.
"The awful pain of separation is particularly acute at such times."
yeah right. the government doesn't seem to care how committed people are to building a life here when they're undocumented, more like deported as soon as possible. more than a bit cynical and hypocritical, or maybe politicians have learned doublethink, but what do expect out of politicians. sad thing is plenty of non politician eejits will spout the same rubbish.
that's totally different of course, we're irish, sure aren't we a great addition to america what with our natural charm and general fabulous-ness. see, obviously totally different to undocumented people here, anyway they're illegal not undocumented, sure they're probably all crooks and...... uhh well that's why is why
