I like the Irish but I think they should mind their own business.

There are a lot of undocumented Irish in the US as well.
On a side note:
During the war with Mexico, a group of Irish and a few other Catholic Europeans formed the "San Patricio's" (the St. Patrick Brigade). They defected from the US side and fought bravely on the Mexican side.
I am sure some racist is now going to start claiming that there is an Irish Mexican Catholic Conspiracy to take over the US.

The Irish aren't per se supporting the Mexicans. The 40,000 Irish illegally here would simply like to be legalized, themselves. If that were the total number of illegals here, I doubt this would be a big issue. 12 to 20 million is a big issue, though. The Irish are hardly a drop in the bucket.

I sincerely doubt they are supporting the Mexicans. I would really like to hear what OTM illegals have to say. Think they'll shut up and butt out long enough for someone else to have a say? They want reform and possible citizenship as well I'm sure........but I sincerely doubt they wanted a blanket amnesty for criminals, child molesters, rapists, drug runners etc.

With all the antiwar Irish and the immigration reform Irish taking to the streets, it looks like I'll have to find a good bar and stay out of the way this weekend.

One of the very few things I do like about George is that as a Texan He`s aware of just how much america need mexicans, they built the great west, so far as the Irish, my kin, they do as they will, and have little fear of america and back-assward politics
