The Chinese Exclusion Act and the Geary Act are the origins of the exclusionary concept of "illegal immigration" (based on ethnicity/race) in U.S. history. The former was heavily influenced by an Irish immigrant and the latter was authored by a second-generation Irish American.
In 1850 there were slaveowners with the surname “Reilly” in Mississippi, Washington D.C., Georgia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Louisiana, South Carolina and Virginia.
While Bill O'Reilly's ancestors became naturalised U.S. citizens without restriction, the Supreme Court Dred Scott ruling of 1857 declared that African Americans, whether free or enslaved, were not and could never be citizens of the United States.

One review I read stated that “the show was informative, linked Irish slaves into the story and explained very well the Underground Railway.” 👀
The reductionist fallacy of “slavery is slavery” should be strongly resisted in this context as racialised chattel slavery in the Americas was arguably unique in world history and its legacies still affect millions of people.

Compare, yes. Equate, never. Be specific, always.
“I saw the play myself and saw the casting in the context that slavery doesn’t have only one color, it wasn’t just in the cotton fields”
