Patrick Casey — if he, as his name indicates, is Irish — is a real hypocrite for leading the recent anti-immigrant group protest at the University of Utah.
Does he know about the hundreds of thousands of poor and mostly Catholic immigrants who poured into the United States from Ireland, starting with the potato famine of the 1840s?
God bless America for accepting them.
