Re: Guantánamo inmates resettled in Ireland (4.00 / 3)

The Irish know what it is to be immigrants, something far too many in the U.S. have forgotten.

The US has over three times as many immigrants as any other country in the world. We haven't forgotten what its like to be an immigrant; we just have no idea what its like to be imprisoned and denied all access to legal recourse for over eight years of our life.

I was thinking of the Irish-as-immigrants in terms of the number who were immigrants to the U.S., rather than those who stayed on the Emerald Isle.

well, most of us (4.00 / 3)

among the millions of residents of america's prisons there are probably more than a few who know too well just how cruel and arbitrary americans can be.
