No Irish need apply
Unions offered jobs I guess, while Irish were turned away in most cases due to racism (Not even considered white). Obviously not all Irish joined unions, but a big factor of it being they that did were driven to it as the only opportunity to work. Interesting some people still hold the sentiment (most likely just trolling), considering the deep history of the Irish contributing to the rise of America becoming the innovative superpower in the modern world.
And not just from the point of a mass immigration, but even from the Constitutional Convention in which Irish participated in the founding of our nation, that being half of the foreign born delegates were from Ireland.
