Of course I’m sympathetic. But people talk about Irish immigration in this extremely naive way, as if it were without incident, when in fact they proved able (if not competent) at conducting a dramatic foreign policy initiative in the 19th century and the 1980s doe that matter.

Sure, the Irish were the scum of the earth and the bastards of creation, but America survived, indeed thrived, after taking in large number of them. That's the point!
