Irish American pride is at the heart of the parade tradition — and immigration is a deeply rooted part of that history. Sympathy for the Irish once opened up meaningful access to others around the world to come to the United States.

All they wanted, the Irish prime minister Enda Kenny said in a St. And a decade later in 2017, newspapers reported on a community of some 50,000 undocumented Irish immigrants, Such an argument served their purposes, of course, because issuing more visas to the Irish would help create immigrant “diversity” at the time. This tradition predates the founding of the United States and its longevity speaks to the rootedness and prominence of the country’s Irish American population. They lobbied policymakers in Washington and raised money and awareness through dances in Irish immigrant and Irish American communities. Deeply-rooted Irish American communities in cities like Boston and New York welcomed these new migrants who “look[ed] as American as any Bostonian,” as the Boston Globe put it in 1987. As the Irish Voice put it, “it didn’t seem right that the Irish, who had done so much to transform America into the great nation it is today, were suffering so badly in the green card stakes.” They marched in parades under banners exhorting Congress to “legalize the Irish.” They spoke out bravely about what being undocumented meant for their lives — the sense of uncertainly and instability it fostered. As more Jews, Italians and Eastern Europeans arrived at the turn of the century, policymakers began to write racial and ethnic discrimination into the immigration laws to ensure white dominance.
