The article discusses concerns surrounding up to 50,000 undocumented Irish migrants in the US, amid fears they could be included in Trump's immigration crackdown. The first wave of deportations primarily targeted migrants with criminal records from Central and South America. Irish-American groups express worry about the vulnerability of Irish migrants who may be easier to locate. The Taoiseach, Mr. Martin, highlighted the challenges faced by undocumented individuals and emphasized the need for legal channels for migration during his upcoming visit with Trump's administration.
"It has been very challenging for those who are undocumented in terms of their security, their lives - many have established families and so forth..."
"We would always be anxious and what we have always been seeking has been a legal channel where we could create opportunities for people to live in the US and vice versa for Americans living in Ireland."
