True, we can't let independent and rational thought stand in the way of liberalism!! :)
They may have tried. We usually would get a warning: The gardai are coming...
Everything would hush.
Maybe a false alarm.
(grin)
I know one Garda who'd come into a pub to warn everyone that his colleagues are on the way!!
Uh oh.
Well, I didn't want to be the one to say that!
It's still a lovely day here, I must away...
See you soon. Thanks for the chat.
Seeya La En - and thank you!!
Excellent post.
Jail Profile Survey Annual Report 2001
The number of criminal illegal aliens in California jails is increasing. In 1996, the number of criminal illegal aliens was reported to be 6,912 inmates, or 9.6% of the population. In 2001, this percentage had risen to 13% (9,658 inmates) even though the ADP for 1996 and 2001 were within 1,800 inmates of one another. Chart 9 illustrates the number of criminal illegal aliens in California’s jails from 1995 to 2001.
Bundoran's my home town - take a look at some pics on my home page - might take you back!
Thank you very much.
The Irish also didn't expect to receive a bilingual education,
They spoke English. Irish Gaelic was banned by the British.
No it wasn't.

"I agree that the Mexicans are not interested in becoming Americans, but can we leave the racism to them?"
"Wetback" is no more racist a term than "redneck".
In 1845, all who came to America assimilated to the culture. In 2006 none will. The hordes accosting our land now will set up enclaves. They bring their culture with them. They have no desire to become Americans. They want our land and our money to perpetuate their own culture, the nation of Aztlan. They will rend the fabric of this country into tatters if allowed to persist in their self-acknowledged "reconquista". They share no values or ethics or philosophy with us. Because they do not, America will become Balkanized--the required ingredient for a civil war. There will be ethnic cleansing. They, like the Muslims, are centuries behind our advanced Western society.
They bring us nothing of value from their failed Marxist societies (except for their brute labor in a small but greatly overexaggerated segment of our economy), and wish nothing but to drag us down to their level. Their predations will reduce life in America to the equivalent of that in a third-world country in short order.
Worth repeating.
Same deal here.........mother was Irish Catholic.......father was Scots-Irish Presbyterian. As with most Catholics.........my mother is a diehard liberal/socialist while my father was a staunch Southern Conservative.
Contemporary immigration foes, like former Gov. Dick Lamm and Rep. Tom Tancredo, claim America can't absorb so many foreign-born without fatal damage to our economy and culture.Yet, history shows we did just that. Today, there are 43 million Americans of Irish ancestry, a key element of the vibrant alloy that is America.
You mean is frogs a race? ;-)
Depends, I imagine on who you are talking to when you use it.
Comments urgently requested. :-)
==============================================
What's this "we" business? What were you doing in 1863?
When I speak of my family I often use "we" in a context like this, "we" were on both sides of the war, my line, and my home state were both of the Confederacy.
Perhaps you have spoken of what "we" did in World War II, You may even have gone so far as to say "we" when speaking of your cities sports team in the playoffs.
You seem annoyed today.
Yes, I know there are white Hispanics.
I am one of them (Cuban).
