I'm an Irish Mexican

The Saint Patrick's Battalion (Spanish: Batallón de San Patricio), formed and led by Jon Riley, was a unit of 175 to several hundred immigrants (accounts vary) and expatriates of European descent who fought as part of the Mexican Army against the United States in the Mexican-American War of 1846 to 1848. Most of the battalion's members had deserted or defected from the U.S. Army. Made up primarily of ethnic Irish and German Catholic immigrants, the battalion included Canadians, English, French, Italians, Poles, Scots, Spaniards, Swiss, and native Mexicans, most of whom were Roman Catholics.

I welcome another Hispanic to the forum. I am Cuban/Spanish mix. Born and raised in Ohio. When I was little it was hard to find anyone who was Hispanic here. In 61 more of my Cuban cousins came here from Cuba. It was hard for them because they didn't speak a word of English. My father and Mother would never speak Spanish in the house so we didn't get a accent. It was hard enough with the Klan here. They thought they were saving us from the racist here in Ohio. It never worked! Anyway glad you are here.

It works cuz mis abuelo es de Ciudad de Mexico y mis abuela is a native out of Dublin. Both of my father's parents were Irish immigrants.
