Past predictions of the Italian syndicates either expanding themselves here in the U.S., or the American mob bringing over new members from Italy, have never panned out. The Sicilians still have the most presence of the Italian groups in the U.S. and it seems to only be a fraction of what it was years ago. Some members and associates may pop up here and there but I don't see the 'Ndrangheta gaining the same presence here that it has in, say, Canada or Australia. Let alone the Camorra, which doesn't have the international scope the 'Ndrangheta does.

As for the future of Italian organized crime in the U.S., once the remaining smaller families are gone, the Mafia as we know it in the U.S. will basically be a phenomenon found only within the greater New York metropolitan area.
