No, not really. Many were deported from there, and they were also not illegals. They followed whatever process was in place at the time. We also had vast tracks of land that needed to be developed, sky scrapers to build and shit to do. The folks who came never took a food stamp, never went on welfare unlike the trash coming up from the south.

Essentially, the green text above is what you guys are saying about Mexicans. Only the above quote isn’t about Mexicans. It was written in 1836 about the Irish settling in England.
"[The Irish] hate our order, our civilization, our enterprising industry, our pure religion. This wild, reckless, indolent, uncertain and superstitious race have no sympathy with the English character. Their ideal of human felicity is an alternation of clannish broils and coarse idolatry. Their history describes an unbroken circle of bigotry and blood.

In America, the NINA (No Irish Need Apply) messages appeared in classified ads for employment, store windows, etc… Big labor didn’t want them here claiming they lowered wages for workers. They were called “Nativists”…gee; “That history book on the shelf….is always repeating itself"
You guys have just moved on to a new scape goat and you’re just as wrong.
