US Presidents Ronald Reagan and John F Kennedy

•Under the current immigration system, neither Ronald Reagan or John F. Kennedy's Irish ancestors or relatives could come to America legally today.

•The Irish will stop coming to America if Congress does not support comprehensive immigration reform.

•In 2006, the Irish received 1906 green cards; including DV lottery, marriage, and employment visas.

•We have helped fight in the wars (record number of Medals
of Honor) helped build the cities, the schools and the Catholic Church. We have always stood tall for the land we all love.

Already great Irish communities across the US are in jeopardy, particularly areas which the Irish revived in the 1980s.
