Irish illegals are almost purely a Boston phenomenon. I know, I research demographics. But it did strike me funny to have native-English-speaking cabbies in a major city!
Meanwhile, they are protesting by drinking copious amounts of alcohol, wearing skirts, and getting into soccer brawls.
Only kidding. But it makes as much sense as Mexicans trying to convince Republicans to vote for amnesty by not working, carrying Mexican flags, and chanting leftist slogans.
(Please, we all know those are just silly stereotypes.. well, except for drinking copious amounts of alcohol in Boston... After all, I'm half French, and I love America and bathe regularly! Then again, I also like watching fires, amd eating softy, runny smelly cheese... The bathing and loving America must come from the British side... I also have an appetite for tea, warm beer, and, sadly, bad teeth.)
(and how could I forget loving chocolate, wine, and French women... although the fondness for French women definitely comes from the British side! All my uncles -- and my Dad -- married French women. I keep seeming to date Irish women, though. (My British side is Celtic and Catholic) Due to bad histories with Irish women, I've even gone out with women with obviously Hispanic, French, Polish and German surnames... only to find out they're still 3/4ths Irish!)
