I mean, sure, I get the point sort of but at the same time, America literally had an open border policy, the intention was to populate the west. So, you know, not the same as a small welfare State receiving a significant proportion of asylum claims from countries with very low acceptance rates… or is it?
We’re some country for the auld guilt trips.
I think relying on trying to make Irish people feel bad because other Irish people emigrated rather than tackling issues is getting fairly old
We literally rioted and targeted black people who were already marginalized, because we came from the backward island full of hate , if anything the above story is a lesson on why you shouldn’t let anyone into your country
Initially intended to express anger at the draft, the protests turned into a race riot, with white rioters attacking black people, in violence throughout the city. The official death toll was listed at either 119 or 120 individuals
An Irish mob then attacked two hundred blacks who were working on the docks, while other rioters went into the streets in search of “all the negro porters, cartmen and laborers . . . they could find.” They were routed by the police.
Did Irish people go to America for housing and welfare from the state or are these situations not comparable at all and this talking point is getting really old?
they build nice railroads though
All immigrants to the United States are labelled scum and tormented.
Before the English killed them with smallpox or firearms, the Narragansett and Pequot probably called the immigrants “scum”.

I don’t they were giving out medical cards on Ellis Island lol.
Yeah we know.
So something happened in 1850, so it must apply perfectly to the situation and circumstances today.
Their descendants are Americans. Our ancestors stayed here.
The Irish were pushed into the Army on arrival and used as cannon fodder in the US civil war.
And received sweet fuck all welfare.

Very different from the con men we’re getting.
Yep, against these fellas.
“No Irish need apply” was a real thing
