I think the Irish were here legally, weren't they? Unlike most of the folks from south of Texas, they were screened for diseases and background and many were sent home.

Huh, and they still had to face the signs of "Irish need not apply".

[muawiyah]

The "Irish need not apply" signs are more apocryphal than real. Somebody might have put one up, but the earliest Irish came directly off prison barges into indenture. They had no need whatsoever to apply for jobs anyway.

Could you prove it?
