Default Happy Saint Patrick’s Day, 2010

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day, 2010


[James Fulford]

"The Roman Catholic Bishop Of Londonderry, Séamus Hegarty, having failed to make peace in his own Northern Irish Diocese, wishes to export Ireland’s problems to America, legally or illegally:


Bishop of Derry hopes for US immigration reform

MICHAEL O’REGAN

UNDOCUMENTED IRISH: BISHOP OF Derry Dr Séamus Hegarty has called
for support for the undocumented Irish in the United States.

In a St Patrick’s Day message, he said that he was particularly
conscious of their circumstances. “While hopes may have dimmed that
comprehensive immigration reform will occur this year, they have not
been extinguished,” he said. “It is only by addressing this issue that
people may be brought in from the margins of society, enabling them to
integrate and contribute fully to their host community.”[More]

I would have thought that, as the Roman Catholic Bishop of a city like
Londonderry, violently divided between Protestant and Catholic, would
realize that some people don’t want illegal colonists to “contribute
fully to their host community.”

This is what I said last year:

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day to all our Irish readers, our Irish-
American readers, and to legal immigrants from Ireland. (As for
illegal Irish immigrants, you can buy a one-way ticket from New York
to Shannon fairly cheaply.)

In honor of St. Patricks’s Day, check out St. Patrick’s Day
Explained To England, by Peter Brimelow, and The Camp Of St. Patrick
and Ganging Up On America by me.

Peter Brimelow’s column was an attempt to explain the St.
Patrick’s Day parade to the readers of the London Times in the ’80s,
and mine attempt to explain that nineteenth century Irish immigration
was not an unmixed blessing."
