Why the "IRISH" part?
Seems either naive or racist in a world where South American immigrants, Asian immigrants, Eastern European immigrants...in TODAY'S United States live in similar or worse conditions.
You should see what is happening in Dubai with the Indian and Phillipineo workers.
Try a read of muckracker Upton Sinclare (The Jungle) or many other of his.
