So today we still have Bexar County. one of the most. if not the most. historic counties in the entire Southwest United States. if not the whole of the United States. We have these lineal descendants who are certainly Americans. but who find themselves even today looked upon as foreigners. So when the Congresses legislated after the financial crisis of 1895. then immigration laws became the custom to try to stem and limit the inflow of this laboring class from middle Europe and from Mediterranean Europe. Before that. we had the Irish who. because of the famine in Ireland in the forties. came to America. I am the descendant of one of two brothers who left Ireland in about 1850 and came to Pennsylvania.
