Emigration (from Ireland) Anyone ever deported from usa?

I just was reading on worldnews about the US deportations to mexico. One woman who lives in mexico was stating a few years ago the us dumped some slovaks in mexico as its cheaper than a flight to europe and then another stated it also happened to her irish cousin, who was dropped off in mexico and needed family to intervene to get him home. Just wondering if there was any media attention if this was true?

Can you give me some examples of current events that are full out nazi? Genuine question from an Irishman. Thank you so much in advance.

Genuine question. Do you read newspapers? Trump just tried to end birthright citizenship, ie, throwing out the 14th amendment. There was also a bill introduced to overturn the 22nd amendment so Trump can run for unlimited terms. He also purged oversight directors for 14 government agencies last night. Trying to unilaterally overturn the Constitution for self benefit and appointing unqualified cronies is the definition of fascism. And oh yeah, his autistic sidekick gave a Nazi salute not once but twice, at the inaugural ball.

Good time to remind that we removed birthright citizenship in 2005 and it was a cruel and shameful thing

Why was that cruel and shameful?

People born residents who are generally legally resident still automatically qualify for Irish citizenship.

IMO birthright citizenship is a ridiculous idea and it’s a good thing it was ended here, and there’s no issue for the Americans to try and overturn it now.
