Americans all love the Irish, because Ireland is the closest foreign country (apart from Canada or Mexico, which aren't really countries anyway), and half the troops in the Revolutionary War were of Irish extraction. Jackson, Kennedy and Reagan are three of the most popular Presidents in historical memory.

Many Americans didn't like the Irish. Some people treated them very badly and threw stuff at them as they came off the boats to step on American soil. Some Americans felt that the Irish were coming to take their jobs.

At one time the Irish were not welcome in the United States but that is not a problem any more. Many Americans celebrate St. Patrick's Day even if they are not Irish.
