Speaker. I rise today to discuss an Issue that is affecting many of my constituents on a very personal level. A number of Irish nationals living In my district in New York and elsewhere have been unfairly targeted for deportation. Many of my colleagues and I have sent letters to President Clinton. Attorney General Reno and other United States and British officials raising this issue and calling for Justice for these members of our community. Most of the individuals who are faclug deportation have established their lives here. They are married to American citizens. have American children and have been productive members of their communities for many years. The threat of deportation has taken an enormous emotional and financial toll on these families every day. They wake up to the possibility that the lives they have worked so har. ir will be shattered by deportation. Wle must demand that these families are treated fairly. They deserve at least that much.
