It seems Canada isn’t the only country desperate Democrats are thinking of fleeing to. New figures show the number of Americans enquiring about employment in Ireland has increased 91 percent since November 8.
While the spike on the employee recruitment website Indeed.com may well represent disgruntled US citizens looking for a Trump-free existence, it could also be a result of the estimated 50,000 undocumented Irish currently living stateside.
It’s no secret that President-elect Donald Trump is not a fan of illegal immigrants, Mexicans or otherwise, and his promise to deport 3 million “illegals” has many Irish overstaying their visas worried.
“[Trump] said that one cannot obtain legal status or become a citizen of the United States by illegally entering that country,”said the leader of Ireland’s Labour Party, Brendan Howlin.
“He has said that he would deport illegal immigrants from the United States within 100 days of taking office. That clock is ticking,” Howlin added.
Aside from the fear of being kicked out of the homes some have spent decades in, the Trump administration also means Irish-born children of immigrants may no longer be safe either.
