They are tied to the Irish immigrant experience, which is a crucial part of Irish American culture. Irish Americans have long used St. Patrick's Day parades to ...

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. That the Irish didn’t seem alien — that they were White and English speaking — played a role in this connection. 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.

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.

The cultural celebration has been observed by the Irish as a holiday for more than 1000 years.

Entertaining the revellers will be Irish pop star Niall Horan, a former member of mega-boy band One Direction, now a singer-songwriter.
