Were the Irish here illegally?

That's a key point that Biden and his boss seem to think is unimportant. Their lack of concern for the law explains most of their behavior.

Any Irish who are in the USA illegally get deported ASAP for the crime of not being brown.

For the most part, no. Certainly not in the 1800s.

Enda Kenny, current Taoiseach and stooge for the European Union, estimates a present-day number of illegal Irish immigrants in the USA at about 50,000 strong, which means that the true numbers could be a great deal higher.

This was pre-Wilson - at the time there were no immigration restrictions for Europeans.

There was also no welfare. I’d be thrilled to go back to that - no welfare, no foodstamps.
