Mr. Speaker. I rise to call attenlion to the plight of several Irish nationals facing deportation from the United Slates. As an executive board member of the Ad Hoc Committee on Irish Affairs. I am deeply disappointed by our Governments policy. These men lacing deportation left their homeland In the face of political persecution and now live peaceful. productive lives in the United Slates. Even so. In what we know as the land of freedom. they are now pursued by our own government. Most of the subjects of deportalion proceedings are married to American citizens or legal permanent residents. Most have children who are American "ltizens.
