Irish are colonizing and exploiting a wealthy land for their own purposes.

A) Any migration that gave us the Kennedy clan, the Shrivers, and Tip O'Neil certainly wasn't all good.

B)Irish did not maintain property in Ireland, commute back and forth from Ireland, vote in Irish elections, advocate for dual Irish/American citizenship, and otherwise treat living in America as a very long commute to their day job.

C) The Irish government did not adopt as official policy that its duty is to represent the needs of the Irish living overseas.

D) No Irish student group, to my knowledge, has claimed that America stole Irish land and has vowed to drive Americans back out of said land by force of violence.

Some actually did, just like a "few" Mexicans do now, but most of the Irish, Poles, Jews, and Italians assimilated, just like a lot of Mexicans want to.

The anti-bilingual education intitive that passed by a 2/3rd's majority in Califronia won with such a big margin because of hispanic support. They want their kids to learn English.
