Yes.

Aside from disliking their culture aesthetically, they proved themselves useless as immigrants. When they first got here, their contributions consisted of little more than gang-violence and thievery. Instead of them actually bringing anything of value into the country, the government actually had to educate them--Which totally defeats the purpose of the Boiling Pot.

They were just as bad as the Mexicans are now except they weren't as so hell bent on separatism.

Guess what my Irish great great grandparents contributed to American culture after they showed up here....That's right: A brewery. That's really useful.

They may have assimilated, but that doesn't mean that actually added anything to America's overall strength.

That's what people keep trying to tell me about the Mexican illegals who're destroying California's economy!
