Ah… the good old days, before the Irish were white and were “flooding” American shores rather than die in a famine…

I messed up… that is British not American.

From Punch, or the London Charivari, May 20, 1882.
Here's a Harpers' that I have seen several times over the years... Came across a lovely Jewish immigration one as well (not sure of the source).
