My Irish grandparents left Ireland in 1950, pregnant with my mom. This pic was taken in NYC a few months after their arrival. Happy St Paddy’s day : ) Immigrants are cool and brave.

      How can anyone be upset with immigration besides the native Americans. This entire country is all immigrants.
      Makes the world such a more beautiful place. Would be boring if everyone was bob.

    2. They look like movie stars. Moving across the world while pregnant takes incredible courage.

      Irish immigrants were/are culturally similar to most Americans. Nothing like Somalian/Muslim/Middle East immigrants today – completely different value set.

      My great-grandparents came here from the Emerald Isle after WWI (Dad’s paternal grandfather) and after the failed Irish War of Independence (Dad’s maternal grandfather), respectively

    5. My goodness, they look so good together.

      My family and I migrated here in 1994 from Russia. Immigrants are indeed cool.
