He made the comments as he presented Donald Trump with a bowl of shamrock - ahead of taking part in the New York parade today.
Enda Kenny's used his trip to the White House to make the case for fairer treatment of immigrants.
The Taoiseach repeatedly commented on the role of Irish immigrants in America at public events attended by President Donald Trump.
Enda Kenny will today march in the St Patrick's Day parade in New York - one of the world's oldest, held every year since 1762.
Last night, presenting Donald Trump with the customary bowl of shamrock, Kenny pointed out that St Patrick himself was an immigrant.
