    Exactly and why should we continue fawning over them.

    There is a certain section of Irish society which labours under the illusion that Paddy occupies a special place in the hearts of Americans. In fact the only "nominal" Irishmen who have any special place among Americans are those pictured on their currency.

    What?

    We are to let anybody come into this country from America, but have to accept that Irish people - who clearly have no intention of immigrating, since they have come and gone numerous times - can be

    1) Stopped after getting past immigration ( in Shannon)
    2) Dragged into a room for 4 hours for interrogation ( clearly a bullying tactic by real jobsworths. What real danger are these people to America?)
    3) Sent to Jail. Lose their possessions, wear an orange jumpsuit like common criminals.
    4) Handcuffed on their way to the Air France flight the next day.

    What utter nonsense. We should control borders,and definitely control them using the same criteria as other countries apply to us.

    So why are these Americans in this country? Toss em in Jail and deport them tomorrow.

    I don't think the article has the full story but something to bear in mind is that a couple of guys who work in construction, and regularly visit the US might make INS suspicious - particularly if they regularly visit for months at a time (though I don't know how long they did visit for).
