They were never enslaved. Nor did they build this country only to not get credit for it.
Completely different. Most immigrants that came here came from wealth and education and strong family structures back home.
They also had their religions intact.

The enslaved did not have that, nor did they repeatedly have elected officials and laws signed into our constitution that referred to them as less than or inferior.

Not even a close comparison

I agree with your point about slaves and other immigrants being obviously a poor comparison, but you go much too far here:

Hate to burst your bubble but many Irish came here to avoid starving to death. Around 70% of this country can trace their heritage (some part) back to Ireland. The Irish were viewed as less valuable than a slave. These are well documented facts and the Irish seem to be doing OK for themselves.
