Too. You never hear about deporting them because, well they are white. Many are here because they or their families committed crimes in the guerilla wars.

From the 1990s until the peace. I edited for clarity. I guess officially the civil war ended decades ago but the IRA in one form or another kept fighting.

My nearest ancestors from Germany and Scotland consist of one each, and they go back seven generations.

One of them fought for King George in the Revolutionary War (the German as a Hessian soldier) and the other one fought against the Brits (the Scotsman who lost a foot at Valley Forge).

So I'm 1/128 + 1/128 = 1/64 expulsion worthy.

Three pounds of me?
