Bad analogy. 1) There are no Spaniards here (except for Americans of Spanish descent). The Irish on the other hand are in their own native land and are still Irish and always will be. 2) Most of the “Natives” are long since dead. Entire native nations died out. The Irish are still around and they are in their native land. 3) The Mexicans have Mexico - which was not the original owner of any US territory or even the secondary owner of any US territory. Before the Mexicans were a host of native peoples and then the Spanish. The Irish on the other hand were the owners from the beginning of written history and were the owners when the British invaded. They Northern Irish never ceded the territory and have never given up their claim to it.
“Every country has land they took from others long ago. Gee whiz. I know I’m biased because my homies were some of those Scots who took land from the Irish.”
And the Irish will get the land back. It is inevitable.
As long as the protestants keep using birth control at rates higher than Catholics, the trend will continue and Catholics will be a majority by 2050. As it stands right now, the Brits are trying to figure out a way to get out of Ireland without too much violence.
Anyway, it wasnt the British who invaded Ireland. It was the Normans. Right?
