No, that wasn't me. I've said Italy and Sicily's unemployment rate is at all time high, something like 30%. Places in Sicily look like ghetto towns over here. No air, no washer/dryer, simple things they don't have that we could never live without over here. BUT, I said what makes them happy is just being surrounded by their family and food. Life is simple. They don't want to be here to live.
