Steve’s Barking; Irish need not apply

 When we talk about Immigration in the United States tend to talk about illegal immigrants from Latin American countries. We seem to forget how the Chinese were discriminated against in the mid to late 19 century. We seem to forget the prejudice that they faced how was the legal for the Chinese at one point to immigrate to the United States. We seem to forget about Catholic Germans who were tried to be a barred from coming to the United States because of the fictitious notion that they were ruled by the pope. We seem to forget how Italians were discriminated against and even the biggest mass Lynching in the United States was Perpetrated against the Italians in New Orleans. We seem to forget the discrimination of Jews during a civil war by general, Ulysses Grant( even though he apologized later in life) We also seem to forget the discrimination Of the Irish and the United States by the wasps, who, if they own businesses, would not hire them by saying the Irish need not apply.
