All true, yet there have been a few social changes since the “Irish need not apply” era. One, there are no jobs for people without strong job skills. Textiles and similar entry level jobs just don’t exist in today’s American job market in any quantity, and those that do exist are snapped up by immigrants.
Yet another masterful stroke by the left.
"Nobody here will do these jobs."
Of course they will. For the exact same reason people from Guatemala do them.
It beats starving.
