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.
This tactic was tried on 1 of the talk shows recently. I think it was Hannity. Someone said how Irish came here “illegally”, so it’s OK for Mexicans.
However, I don’t think they stole up on various abandoned beaches trying to sneak past the immigration people. I don’t think they actually made it in 100% or even 50% illegal. I could be wrong, but somehow I think they came to ports where officials tried to make them all get in legally.
It’s a bogus comparison.
Never mind there used to be rules about what kind of people could come. And it wasn’t from racism. It was a genuine recognition that a) our system was the best and b) bringing in totally different cultures from our system of justice and freedom threatened to change this very government and style of freedom. There were quotas on how much could come in from given types of cultures. And it made sense.
We’re too PC for all that now.
That's not what the original settlers thought.
"They did not march in the streets claiming we stole their land."
Well maybe that's because we hadn't beat their arses in a war. LOL. Beside..a lot of the pics of the March were staged by socialists running the show.
"There was no MS13 gang murdering Americans."
Yes there were..there were fights with Irish gangs and the "Patriots" all over NY City. How do you think the Dems and the labor unions got their start? LOL.
"They were not sucking taxpayers dry and causing emergency rooms to be shut down. "
I haven't heard that..not questioning the validity, I just don't have enough info to respond.
