We didn’t share a border with Ireland, nor is Ireland a hostile foreign country in which its citizens are taught to hate and resent the USA for stealing “their land”. Nor is there as a result an Irish equivalent of Atzlan or La Raza. There is NO COMPARISON to be made by a sane person between the 19th century Irish and the 20th/21st centuries Mexicans.

Mexico is an ally of the United States, a trading partner of the United States and it is to be expected that Mexico has its own viewpoint about the war it instigated with the United States 150 years ago.
Mexicans are not taught to hate America any more than Americans are taught to hate Japan.

There is and was an Irish mafia. There are and have been IRA sympathizers and fundraisers here too.
I'm all for expelling terrorist sympathizers and criminals of any ethnicity.

LOL! That's right - anyone who disagrees with you in your sovereign wisdom must be mentally ill, right?
The paranoid reaction to the Irish in the 19th century is identical to the paranoid reaction to the Mexicans in the 21st.
Those of us who are not caught up in the mass hysteria and refuse to share your fixations have our reasons for refusing to participate: Mexico can be a source for millions of young, hardworking, enterprising Christian immigrants, the kind of vital ing=fusion that has kept America young and adventurous.
The current system is broken and needs to be fixed, but at the end of the day America should have at least 10 million new Mexican citizens. It's good for America.
