You may not know if from the national controversy over immigration reform, but some illegal aliens have Irish accents. And with double-digit inflation in Ireland, the number of undocumented Irish in the US is bound to increase.Put on something green and head down to City Hall on Monday, October 12, at 11:15 AM for a rally to support immigration reform.
“It is vital that the Irish community plays a visible role in the campaign for immigration reform, and I would love to see a green bloc at the rally,” says Siobhan Lyons, executive director of the Irish Immigration Center of Philadelphia.
The rally is scheduled the day before a major rally and march on Washington, DC, where immigration reform groups from all over the country will converge. The Irish Immigration Center is sending a delegation. For more information, contact the center at 610-789-6355.
