His father was a deacon and his grandfather was a priest in the Christian church. According to the Declaration, at the age of sixteen, he was kidnapped by Irish raiders and taken as a slave to Gaelic Ireland. come again?
Up your Enda, Kennedy.
He was an involuntary immigrant, as were most of the early slaves in this country.
Ignorant PM! One must remember that the very best of the Irish have long since emigrated to the US, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, etc. That would include me very own ancestors.
Another in a record year of face palm moments, many many more to come.
Illegal immigrants flooding our border...
Islamic Followers killing U. S. Citizens...
The Enda common sense!
So what. Trump’s family were immigrants, too. So was his wife. So was his first wife.
That doesn’t mean we can let in every damn person in the world to our country.
The ‘illegal immigrants’ don't want to do that, they want this country to turn into the hell hole they left and do not want to simulate into the American laws and productivity...
Muslims are the worst of the lot as they want us to take away our Country Founding of Christianity and turn it into the Sharia laws, which we will not be doing...
Wow...I learn something new everyday from libtard land...
Never know St. Patrick came to America to live off the fat off the government by sucking up all the government bennies allowed like many of immigrants do today....
We need to go back to the way it used to be...come to the land of opportunity, you better have a sponsor to the ability to survive without picking my pocket...
If there are 35 million people of Irish ancestry in the U.S., then that means the Irish population in the U.S. is seven times larger than the Irish population in Ireland.
Do you think maybe Ireland would have been better off if all those people hadn't fled over the last 200+ years?
I’m not sure how St. Patrick could have immigrated to Ireland when, in the fourth century, Ireland didn’t even exist as a unified country. (Some would argue it still doesn’t.)
Had he been with the IRA (Irish Republican Army), then there would be no St. Patrick or a day to honor him. Being an immigrant is not the issue here, dumba$$.
He isn’t as much a patron saint of immigrants as he could be considered a patron saint of slaves - having been abducted as a child and escaped back to his family in Britain.
Ireland is not on the list.. St. Paddy is OK.
STFU.
Immigrants are one thing
Criminal, unwanted invaders are another.
the latter must GO!

Patrick wasn’t from England. He was American. He was an American time traveler.
He was sent back in time to infiltrate Ireland and steal all their snakes.
He was sent to steal all the snakes so that his employers could generate a new timeline where they dominated the snakeskin boot market rather than the Irish as in the original timeline.
St. Patrick was a slave.
St Patrick was ‘an immigrant’
