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.

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.

The laws were still the laws then..in many cases even more restrictive. You are just dancing around the punishment to meet the crime issue.
