I read that the Irish were not wanted either when they were immigrating over here. I understand they were called “WOPs” (Without Papers). I would imagine that people complained about them too. Although I am not of Hispanic origin, I unstand that every single group that came to America had to fight for acceptance. Once the Hispanics are fully accepted, which group will be next?

Yes, they were complained about, with good reason. They left a crime ridden, poverty stricken mess and brought it with them. The government finally figured out when to stop the flow. That’s what we haven’t figured out yet this time.
The problem is NOT ‘hispanics’ being ‘accepted’. These socialist 3rd worlders want to change this country into just another Mexico with more handouts. I don’t understand how you can encourage a group of people who have vowed to take over this country. And they are well on their way, as evidenced by the most recent LaRaza Scotus nominee.
The largest influx of Irish immigrants came to America between 1845-50 before we had immigration laws across the country. No, they weren’t wanted but they weren’t illegal. There are legal Hispanics and illegal Hispanics. Most here aren’t against a particular race or culture or nationality but against people who willy disregard our laws and then demand civil rights.
I think you have that backwards. Hispanic immigrants have shown no inclination en masse to "accept" the culture they are moving to. The congregate in enclaves around the country and further alienate themselves.
By demanding (and getting) everything in spanish to accommodate them they segregate themselves and maintain a separate culture. They then go on to insist that WE accept their culture into ours.
I personally have no desire to celebrate Cinco de Mayo or have a pinata at my son's birthday party. I don't even want him learning spanish. It means nothing to me. I have no connection with the hispanic culture whatsoever yet at every turn it is being pushed on me and my children.
Being accepted is not required. If they want to be accepted then they should start by accepting the culture they are entering.
Even more animosity is generated against members of a particular nationality when millions of them come here illegally, as Hispanics, mostly Mexicans, have done. At least the Irish spoke English.
