Happy St. Patrick’s Day
When I think about today it reminds me of how people treat immigrants. I think of the Irish 100 years ago and how the exact same arguments were leveraged against them. They are taking our jobs, schools, bringing disease, consuming our social services, they don’t assimilate our traditions, etc etc.
If certain people had their way the Irish would have been sent back home, the richness that they brought our country would not be here and I would not be here.
Today I am going to lift a glass of Guinness against hatred, against anger and for the things that we have in common as human beings. Happy St. Patrick’s Day.
