enable current Irish immigrants to legalize their
status in the United States

The friendship between Ireland and the
United States has deep roots.
Ireland has one of the fastest growing economies in Europe, and its
growth is
attracting immigrants. Patrick, the Irish in America began their life in their new land
as exiles, but came to love it as home. In the 21st
century, Ireland is now helping other nations
who share the same aspirations
for peace and prosperity by fighting hunger, and the spread of HIV
/AIDS in
Africa, by supporting relief efforts for victims of the tsunami in Asia, and
by helping
the Afghan people rebuild their lives and their country.
For some, especially in Ireland, the
day is observed as a religious holiday.
