          Irish Mexicans (Spanish: Irlandés-mexicano or Hibernomexicano; Irish: Gael-Meicsiceach) are inhabitants of Mexico that are immigrants from or descendants of immigrants from Ireland. The majority of Irish immigrants to Mexico were Catholic and arrived during the time when Britain ruled the whole of Ireland.

          Many Mexican Irish communities existed in Mexican Texas until the Revolution[citation needed]. Many Irish then sided with Catholic Mexico against Protestant pro-U.S. elements[citation needed]. The Batallón de San Patricio was a largely (ethnically) Irish battalion of U.S. troops who deserted and fought alongside the Mexican Army against the United States in the Mexican-American War of 1846 to 1848[1]. In some cases, Irish immigrants or Americans left from California (the Irish Confederate army of Fort Yuma, Arizona during the U.S. Civil War in 1861) and blended into Mexican society instead.[citation needed]

          Álvaro Obregón (O'Brien) was president of Mexico during 1920-24 and Ciudad Obregón and its airport are named in his honor. Actor Anthony Quinn is another famous Mexican of Irish descent. There are also monuments in Mexico City paying tribute to those Irish who fought for Mexico in the 1800s.[2]

          Today, there are roughly between 300,000 and 600,000 Irish-descendants living in Mexico City, and the Northern region of the country, where Irish last names such as Bay, Lamport, Byrne, Walsh, Foley, Hayes, and O'Leary are very common, especially in the states of Chihuahua, Nuevo Leon, and Durango.

                Alvarez looked huge compared to Cotto. What a joke of a fight. Kid didn't look bad. Still doesn't prove anything.

                  Hmm...Nothing you say makes any sense at all. I mean except for Brazil, People all over Latin america regardless of what country can be named Alvarez. The whole continent except for Brazil have Spanish language last name.

                    He looked like **** tonight to be honest, he looked a little softer then usual. Plus he was nervous and tentative, hopefully it was just learning experience for him.

                      Areas of Spain were settled by the Celts in the first millenium BC, around the same time as they settled in Ireland, England and Brittany.

                      Brief classification of the timeline for the main distinctive cultural groupings and geographical movements of the Celtic peoples from before 900 BC to the Roman era.


                      If you visit rural villages in those parts of Spain, you'll find people who look just like the people in villages in Ireland, although they speak Spanish and have Spanish names.
