A large portion of the Irish came into "this house" in the 1840's. They left behind a famine. They didn't want to come here, they had to. Many of them stowed away on boats because they couldn't pay the price to get here(yes illegally), lied about their names and ages to get better jobs. Lied about what year they arrived so they wouldn't have to wait in line so long for citizenship. Lived ten people to a house in the inner cities and took the jobs from the British/American settlers.
So if any of us have Irish in our line should we all be deported because we are anchor babies of people who broke the law to bring us here for a better life...illegally?
I want the flow to stop as much as the next person but I think that deporting all the ones that are here is like giving a death sentence to a petty thief. It's over the top.
When the Irish and others came here, it did not threaten to destroy our language and culture. They did not march in the streets claiming we stole their land. They were not 25% of the prison population. There was no MS13 gang murdering Americans. They were not sucking taxpayers dry and causing emergency rooms to be shut down. Your analogy is interesting but to compare the two and the time frames is simply foolish. We are in a genuine crisis that threatens to destroy this nation.
What was the law then?
So, like the radical muslims, you want to turn back time and live in a previous century? Most of us have evolved along with our civilization.
