Where on earth did display any xenophobia? I can only assume since you took so much offence that you are Irish?
I simply stated it's a bit rude that Ireland are trying to get visas allocated to another country. How does Ireland think they are entitled to the fruits of another countries agreement?
Nobody in the USA is pushing for it. It's being lobbied by the Irish. If Ireland want more visas, they can come up with their own scheme.
What is this trade network you speak of? Ireland is in the EU and has no independent trade agreement with the USA. Many people in the USA claim to be Irish. None that I have met were born in Ireland nor were their parents or grandparents. Claiming to Irish in the USA is like a hobby.
