If you study American History you will find out that many races and religions have had to pay “their dues”. The Irish Catholics are still paying in fact. It is hard to believe that an Irish Catholic would forget his/her roots and heritage. We should be amongst the first to stand up for all and not be prejudice. Too many have forgotten our roots and what our ancestors endured so we could be here today.
So, back in the day, Irish = Mexicans. Will we learn from history? No, why would we? So all us Irish Americans loudly boo Mexican immigrants - dirty illegals! God bess us that we came before they put up a wall in the Atlantic. So some Irish-American bigot will say, they don't assimilate - well, guess what they said about your ancestors, jerk. And look how well you've assimilated to be able to sling the same insults that would have been hurled at you 100 years ago.
Very catchy tune. I found it hard to believe the Clancy's & Makem never recorded it. I've googled it every which way. This video clip is all you can find... It's a shame!
Great clip!..The Clancys and Makem... all so young! And JFK looking great... but never to finish the year. So sad for us. Please leave this video up .. thanks

@ogilain1 Irish weren't really discriminated against at the scale they claim. It's all a lie to make Irish sympathize with Mexicans.
