The Irish were discriminated against upon arrival to America. Because they were dirt poor, suffered abuse and paid less then other workers. Our ancestors suffered and paved the way ...so we could live a better life.

You are so right and I'm glad that you posted this as many do not know about how it was for these poor people coming here with nothing looking for a better life for themselves and their children. I'm half irish on my dad's side , other part is Italian. My grandmother used to tell me the stories of herself and her parents coming here and the hardships they encountered because they were poor and no one would hire the Irish . Makes me sad, the Irish are a strong people though and overcame.

Kitty...Thanks for you response. I am half Irish on my dad's side too. It make me sad too...knowing what our ancestors went through to survive and thrive. I am thankful and proud of my heritage.

I dislike telling you this but so were other nationalities discriminated against. I'm Italian and I heard many stories from my grandparents who came to this country and what they had to go through plus being sure they learned the English language so they could communicate unlike what goes on today.

MY grandparents also came from Ireland. They had nothing but were wanting to work. So many signs were posted in shop windows. NO Irish Need Apply. They worked at menial (sp sorry)tasks but worked hard to become successful. Sucess to them was raising a happy family. Not wealth. I thank God for my heritage. I am indeed proud of being 100% IRISH.
