They say he stowed away on a boat, Alone at fourteen Running from the famine Or toward an opportunity, We can't be sure. What we do know is that He didn't have to get in line, Or wait ten years, Or prove his worth. He just showed up and, Though despised by his new countrymen, They took him in, And eventually he became one of them. So much that his ancestors Can now condemn Others Who do exactly what he did.

For some reason I've decided to share my home with a tiny beast who has fangs and razor-sharp claws.

I love her.

This is my great-grandfather, Patrick Henry Burke. And this is your yearly reminder that Irish and some other European immigrants faced the same kind of hate that their descendants are directing at Mexican, Venezuelan, African, and other immigrants today.
