Disappointing set of callers in this, probably because the topic was discussed on the midday show and not the late night one.
Two arguments that keep coming up:

What about the illegal Irish in America? Don't we appeal for their clemency.
It's our fault for not deporting them. We can't deport the children now.

On the second argument. This was always the game plan. Never deport anyone, let them have children here and then emotionally blackmail the population.

On the first argument: There are an estimated 10 to 15 thousand illegal Irish in America. That's .004% of America's population.

If we were to believe that Ireland only has 17,000 illegals (even the MCRI have now admitted they have no clue), proportionally that's 87 times the number of Irish illegals in America.
To put it another way, If we were to do a quid-pro-quo and legalise proportionally the same number of Irish illegals as are in America, we would only need to give residency permits to 196 illegals here. That wouldn't be such a big deal.

Anyway, I don't want clemency for illegal Irish in America. Kick them all out especially as means those who remained here have to suffer the consequences of their actions.
That was what Trump promised.
