Can I get back into USA to visit after overstaying with a new passport?

When I first went to the USA it was before the fingerprinting, so I was not fingerprinted. I overstayed for 10 months. I came home and then went back to the US and got back in, on this occasion I was fingerprinted. I overstayed for 3 and a half years. When I left the US I had a new passport, as if lost my passport in the states.

I’m attempting to go back now for a visit. It has been 10 years since I left the states (my 10 year ban would be over). I’m told I have to apply for a non immigrant visa, but the chances of getting approval are slim, due to the fact that I have overstayed my welcome on 2 occasions.

I’m from N. Ireland, I can have two passports a U.K. passport or an Irish passport. If I change my passport and attempt to enter, would I be denied. I honestly have no intentions of overstaying again, but I’d love to go back and see some old friends.
