after the revolution when they needed cheap irish labor
In 1774, Parliament passed the Quebec Act, taking the enlightened position that the Catholic Church could remain the official church of Quebec. This appalled and terrified many colonists, who assumed this to be a British attempt to subjugate them religiously by allowing the loathsome Catholics to expand into the colonies.
Colonial newspapers railed against the Popish threat. The Pennsylvania Gazette said the legislation would now allow “these dogs of Hell” to “erect their Heads and triumph within our Borders.” The Boston Evening Post reported that the step was “for the execution of this hellish plan” to organize 4,000 Canadian Catholics for an attack on America. In Rhode Island, every single issue of the Newport Mercury from October 2, 1774 to March 20, 1775 contained “at least one invidious reference to the Catholic religion of the Canadians,” according to historian Charles Metzger.
Protestant clergy fanned the flames. Rev. John Lathrop of the Second Church in Boston said Catholics “had disgraced humanity” and “crimsoned a great part of the world with innocent blood.” Rev. Samuel West of Dartmouth declared the pope to be “the second beast” of Revelation while Joseph Perry warned his Connecticut neighbors that they would soon need to swap “the best religion in the world” for “all the barbarity, trumpery and superstition of popery; or burn at the stake, or submit to the tortures of the inquisition.” And, he reasoned, English lawmakers were being controlled by the devil; the Quebec Act “first sprang from that original wicked politician.”
Commenting on anti-Catholic fervor, historian Alan Heimert wrote that there was “a special and even frenetic urgency to their efforts to revive ancient prejudices by announcing that the Quebec Act—and it alone—confronted America with the possibility of the ‘scarlet whore’ soon riding ‘triumphant over the heads of true Protestants, making multitudes drunk with the wine of her fornications.'” The 1774 Pope Day was one of the grandest in years; in Newport, two large effigies of the pope were paraded. In New York, a group marched to the financial Exchange carrying a huge flag inscribed, “George III Rex, and the Liberties of America. No Popery.”

someone pointed out that the main effect of irish immigration was to massively empower the US federal government and turn the country away from the federalism model.
irish felt persecuted and starved, and immediately sought in their new country to build up and use the tools of the state to protect themselves. their clannish ways facilitated massive corruption once they were embedded INTO the government as well.
thanks, irish.

Dominick Dunne believes his 'inside outsider' position can be partly attributed to his upbringing in Hartford, Connecticut. His grandfather was a potato-famine immigrant from Ireland; his father a celebrated heart surgeon; his mother a debutante. The family were wealthy, but as Catholics they were subtly excluded from Hartford's 'Wasp' society. 'That,' Dunne says, 'is why I always hated Katharine Hepburn. She lived right around the corner from us, and our fathers knew each other. But the first real conversation I ever had with her was at David Selznick's funeral. I introduced myself, and she said, – Dunne slips into an eerie impression of Hepburn's clipped, patrician tones – '"Oh, you're one of those noisy Dunne children from around the corner." Putting me in my place.' He laughs. 'I always hated that feeling; but then as I grew to be a writer, I treasured it.'
