Same with Italians and many others. There are always bad groups of people that come in with the good ones. That doesn't mean the Irish thing has anything to do with TEA. TEA did not come in with thousands or millions of other Venezuelans. And, Trump recognizes this and is only rounding up the gang members. I hold the word "Member" loosely because they don't take roll in their meetings. This isn't Kiwanis.I am loathe to point it out but the comparison to the Irish gangs is not without merit. In their day, the Irish gangs instituted a reign of terror over New York. The crime was off the chart. The violence was off the chart. The Irish began the first prison gang, the Blue Birds known today as the Aryan Brotherhood. Yes, they probably should have been rounded up and deported. Instead the people fought back as best they could which is why you hear uncomfortable stories of entities that posted signs saying "No Irish".
Deporting the Irish has a foundation in reality.
