This is kind of odd, no? I mean, isn't immigration control one the big issues here? Yet, a unanimous vote in the Dáil last week passed a motion supporting a bill before the US Congress that would "help the thousands of illegal Irish".
I have a lot of sympathy for the illegal Irish immigrants. I have family members who have only recently moved out of that status. Yet, I also think it's important for a government to control its borders.
I don't think this is a major issue, but it just seems odd that the Irish government would involve itself in the immigration policies of another country when it is such an issue here.
