In, for once, a positive bit of news from across the pond, Irish President Michael Higgins took the opportunity in his Christmas message to the Irish nation to thank migrants for their presence in Ireland. Higgins said, “may I express my gratitude to the migrants who now call Ireland their home. Their presence enriches our culture, contributes to our society, bringing as they do experiences, traditions, and perspectives that make us stronger as a nation.”

Imagine any American president thanking migrants for coming to the United States. We’ll wait.
