McGrath, does the open door policy just apply to Romanians, or are all immigrants welcome regardless of nationality, criminality, valid passport or lack thereof? Is there any such thing as an illegal immigrant in Ireland? Do you have an extra room?

"Speaking of the Irish, there were once the same hysterical fears being expressed about massive Irish immigration to the USA. That was back in the mid-to-late 1800s." That's true. But the government and the taxpayers of the United States weren't asked to feed, house, and provide health coverage for them.
