The Plano men booted from Ireland earlier this month were expected to begin their all-expense-paid trip back to the country this morning.

The three friends – Colin Zwirko, 21; Gavin Sides, 19; and Ben Whitehurst, 21 – were scheduled to board a flight from New York City to Dublin on Monday night. The men, who have received media attention in Ireland, were expected to speak at a news conference shortly after arriving, Zwirko said. Then, d4hotels, which paid for their flights and a week's hotel stay, will give them 1,000 euros – roughly $1,400 – to spend during their trip.

After a week in Dublin, the three plan to restart their backpacking trip. However, they might end up spending very little on the rest of the trip. That's because they've received so many offers of free trips from other hoteliers and hostels, Zwirko said.

Those offers came after the news that Irish immigration officials ordered them back to the United States, saying they lacked proof they had a place to stay and money to travel.

as usual it is a one way street....Look at the different standard in immigration laws in Mexico.

Same standards never apply to Americans when it comes to the rest of the world, and our government lets them walk all over us!

Other countries think their citizens are entitled to come to the US, like its some natural human right. But they're sure going to protect their own borders.

Like Texas2Step said, Irish officials have recently requested amnesty for their Irish citizens living illegally in the US. Our government is pathetically stupid when it comes to this issue.

No AMNESTY for any illegal alien
