An honest answer; I was told it was because the Irish that came to America were, poor, uneducated, sometimes sick, many were running from debt such as taxes, and some of them were criminals that were part of the Irish Mafia. Now, that being said, I have found out that I am about 30% Irish.
Don't forget though that the Irish brought a rich and beautiful heritage also.
Usually, when people leave their Country of Birth, they are unhappy with something, otherwise why would you leave?

What did the Americans think of the Italian immigrants?
Many Americans did not like Italians upon their arrival in the U.S. Mostly Irish people, who had already been in the United States and considered themselves "American", were against Italians and did everything they could to prevent them from succeeding. Due to the fact that Irish immigrants had been in the U.S. so much longer than the Italians, they had worked their way into police and fire department and had become in charge of their surroundings, giving them an advantage over other immigrants. There are still harsh feelings among Irish and Italian people today. I hope I helped answer your question. :)
