The Irish were saving their lives, not risking them.
In 1848, there was a potato famine - potatoes were the Irish primary food, and a very good one. The potato plants were dying from a fungus disease. Some think that the English introduced the fungus disease so the Irish would starve to death. Most English hated the Irish.
So, the Irish found that they could emigrate to the USA, find good jobs on the new railroads, mines, and so forth. So millions of them did, and some of those families became powerful leaders in industry, here.
If nothing else, my great-great-great-great Grandfather, David, came to the US through Canada.

In reality, only those ancestors are really Irish. The generations after that are of Irish descent, but are now from the country that they now live in. What made those original people Irish is that they were born in Ireland, grew up in Ireland, lived in Ireland, were educated in Ireland and so on. The generations after that would have done all those things in different countries. So the things that made their ancestors Irish are the things that make them be from their own country. So you are not Irish, but you do have Irish ancestry, plus the ancestry of your other grandparents, wherever they and their ancestors may have come from.
