  When America Despised the Irish: The 19th Century’s Refugee Crisis Forced from their homeland because of famine and political upheaval, the Irish endured vehement discrimination before making their way into the American mainstream.   BY:  CHRISTOPHER KLEIN UPDATED: JUNE 1, 2023 | ORIGINAL: MARCH 16, 2017   https://www.history.com/news/when-america-despised-the-irish-the-19th-centurys-refugee-crisis     The refugees seeking haven in America were poor and disease-ridden. They threatened to take jobs away from Americans and strain welfare budgets. They practiced an alien religion and pledged allegiance to a foreign leader. They were bringing with them crime. They were accused of being rapists.  These undesirables were Irish…. More than just the pestilence was responsible for the Great Hunger. A political system ruled by London and an economic system dominated by British absentee landlords were co-conspirators. F...

EAST END PUBLIC SAFETY & ACCOUNTABILITY LOCAL LAW 2026 Register with OLA to join the campaign for proposed legislation: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfNzfhowXLnPQDAanyHr1FQWkxykwexDkYJCquGO1CQ1doqWA/viewform Talking point suggestions from OLA: * We are one East End community. We must stand together as one community. *This local law was created by a lawmaker with 30 years experience representing the East End as State Assemblyman: Fred Thiele, who recently retired, serves on the Board of OLA.
