The latest moves to push forward with immigration reform in the US, which could lead to the thousands of illegal Irish citiziens there being made legal, has been welcomed by Leitrim Senator Paschal Mooney.


The Chairman of the US Senate Judiciary, Arlen Specter, has met with the co-sponsors of the Immigration Reform Bill, and indicated he will try and pursue the matter, following the US mid term elections.


Senator Mooney, who has visited Washington six times in bids to lobby politicians on the issue, says it's a positive development.


He says the numbers of illegal Irish living in the United States appears to be on the decrease in recent years, for a number of reasons.
