I’m a little confused here.First you said the last 30 years and then you said since 1910.I apologize before hand if I sound harsh,But you did say some good overall points.But this a deeply personal issue with me because my grandfather,great uncle and great grandmother took this journey you speak of.It wasn’t just poverty but political unrest and the Mafia in southern Italy and Sicily,that was driving them away.Many came here for a chance at a better life yes,and many came during or to enlist during WWI.Thet were treated terribly in NYC,often denied work,treated as criminals,and forced to deny their proud Ethnicity due to racist misinformed idiots.They often never spoke their native language to escape this.Yes,some went back,but many prospered.Twelve cousins and brothers came here over a period of 20 yrs. and single handedly created the wine industry in the Napa Valley in California.More people of Italian descent are born in America and other countries and American sovergn land today than there in the Country of Italy.So,yes,I would say they propelled and prospered.I did,however enjoy your piece here.Italian Americans are forgetting where we come from any more.
