As I've explained ad nauseum in previous posts, when individuals emigrate (or their ancestors were transported as slaves) to the United States, they, or at least their children, become inculcated in American values

Soon after they arrived in America, plenty of immigrant Irish couldn't wait to get into US politics

Those folks didn't need any inculcating, only a short tour of our system of government. They only needed an opportunity to participate in their own government.

It's said that Irish immigrants got into American politics more quickly than some other immigrant groups, because they knew English already.

The Iraqis don't need to learn English in order to participate in their own goverment.
