The immigration laws def need to be updated. But I'm not concerned about the Irish. I'm most concerned about Haitians who have been treated worse than any other would be immigrants.
Its protectionsism. Most are short sighted and don't like competition for anything. I hate the argument that "my ancestors came legally, you need to as well!" B.S. "your" immigrant ancestors only came legally, if they were in fact legal, because they didn't have the same laws. No sponsors, occupation requirements, fees, etc etc.
It just comes down to they dont want more Mexicans.
Concerning to whom the fault of oppression belongs; "We are not all equally guilty but we are all equally responsible" - Rabbi Abraham Hescel
Concerning blaming others for the problem; "...And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?... - Matthew: 7 1-5
Concerning how to fix the problems concerning oppression; "Someone once said that the word 'motivation' should never be used in the singular. Some combination of motives always exist and it's impossible for anyone to qualify the proportion of each that is involved in any given act" - Warren Buffet (in an interview in the USA Today)

Yeah... True.
But what did the Irish do to America?
Could it be the Iberian influence on their gene pool?
It's that most Irish are Catholic and back in the day there was a backlash against Catholicism.
