The American myth celebrates Immigration but the story has always been complex – witness the “Irish” once vilified, now celebrated and the current backlash and racialization of asylum and entry. Our nation’s southern border has long been a place where cultures both mix and collide — and divisions of race, class, and national origin create an endlessly shifting pattern of opportunity and injustice. Join us, as we celebrate St Patrick’s Day and explore the story of 40 Irish orphans in Arizona circa 1904 — and what it means to be American.
