Roderic O'Gorman says Justice Minister Helen McEntee will be "regularising" all 17,000 illegal immigrants in September.
NGOs have been throwing around this 17,000 figure when they want to low-ball it.
Other times it's 26,000. Nobody asks them to explain where they get the figures. The truth is it's probably way more.
Nobody who is employing any of these illegals is ever prosecuted and not one of your representatives ever asks about it.
In fact Judge Desmond Zaidan who seems to be the only judge with any cop-on (his background is Lebanese interestingly) has slated the government for their attitude to illegals.
In one case, an illegal came before him who was caught with fake papers only for Zaidan to hear that he had been since granted a work permit by the govt!
"Nowhere in the world would the state behave like this."
Zaidan said false French documents seemed to be "rampant" in the system.
He has also slammed the govt for their attitude to sham marriage.
