    The new leader of America has vowed to deport illegal immigrants with criminal records within his first 100 days in office and a series of executive actions suggest he will widen the net to all unofficial US residents over the coming months.

Irish illegals are an open secret in NYC. Not mentioned in the article is that building booms draw them in for construction jobs. So, it's not just Hispanics or Muslims causing politicians to demand sanctuaries as there are other peoples being protected.

Tradition has an American flag placed atop the finished steelwork of skyscrapers. I saw one in Manhattan with the Irish flag.

Did all of these 50k commit crimes (besides immigrating illegally)?

If not this is another BS article.

 All right... we'll give it to the muslims and the mexicans. But we don't want the Irish!

Just to be in this country illegally requires more crimes to be committed than just entering illegally. Many laws have to be broken just to survive, not small ones either. Identity theft, tax fraud, benefits fraud, document fraud just to name a few.  Heck, just to get the aforementioned construction jobs they would commit several felonies.

True, but I do not think this is the same standard Trump is using when he says we're gonna send the bad ones back.

Although I would be delighted if it were.

More Fake News.

In the story it says clearly those "with criminal records".  These 50,000 Irish who most likely entered this country legally but overstayed VISAs, unless they are felons or incarcerated are not targeted with this deportation, if there truly is such a thing being put in motion.
