Supporting immigration is the theme of this year’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Manhattan, a march up Fifth Avenue that passes President Donald Trump’s namesake tower, near 56th Street, along the route.

Five Latino immigrants will help lead the 257-year-old parade by marching with Grand Marshal Brian O’Dwyer, an activist and immigration lawyer — bookended by fellow marchers from the New York National Guard’s Fighting 69th and the NYPD delegation, according to parade committee spokesman Bob Liff.

Didn’t the parade “go gay” a year or two ago?

Is this how the North was with the South? Did the Yankees stick their liberal noses into ever nook and cranny of the Southerner’s life like they are doing now?

If so, no wonder they had no problem picking up the musket. Leave me alone!!

The Irish all went through Ellis Island and got sent back if they were criminals or had contagious diseases.

Illegal aliens don’t.

The census reports are public records. My family are listed on the 1910 list from the Bronx. The columns to fill out by hand include when did you apply for citizenship and what language do you speak

Boycotts of the parade to force them to include homosexuals started back in 2014.

From 2013:

Over 37 percent of New York City residents were born in another country, according to a new report, the highest percentage in over 100 years.

A record high 3.07 million foreign-born immigrants live in New York City, more than any other city in the world.

They hijacked it years ago and it’s now a regular yearly gay event. They couldn’t come up with enough support for their own cause parade so they stole one. This is what they do... they either steal it or destroy it so that no one has it. Boy Scouts as an example.

Some of the Irish got here before Ellis Island.

Mine came here in 1854 and just paid passage on a ship. They first settled in Newark, NJ and then Harrison, NJ. In 1864 my great-great-grandfather was in DC serving in the Army Of The Potomac.

Instead of honoring groups one-by-one such as the Irish on Saint Patrick’s Day, why don’t New Yorkers present one annual Democratic Day Parade each year to honor all of their favorite groups at once?

There’d be floats for Blacks, Hispanics, Gays, Transgenderers, Muslims, Feminists, Undocumented Immigrants, etc.

Jews would not be permitted to participate, but of course they’d be happy to volunteer to fund the entire enterprise, as usual.
