On inviting to this country the "hordes of wild Syrians"

So, today many Americans battle against inviting to the country what they fear as crowds of wild and violent Syrians.
 "In July 1797, Congressman Harrison Gray Otis of Massachusetts sounded the alarm on immigration in what became known as the “Wild Irish” speech, warning that while he had nothing against “honest and industrious” immigrants, the country could not afford to “invite hordes of wild Irishmen”: “The mass of vicious and disorganizing characters who could not live peaceably at home, and who, after unfurling the standard of rebellion in their own countries, might come hither to revolutionize ours.”3

7 Annals of Cong., 430 (1797)."

And, along with "wild Irishmen", there were also "wild Italians", and "wild Jews", and wild - anybody who did not fit into the WASP standard.

In this country of immigrants, let's remember the "Wild Irish" speech.
