I post this whenever this topic comes up, which seems to be about once a week. But where are these "zips" coming from? Are you remotely familiar with American immigration laws today?

Italians are at the bottom of the list today when it comes to being granted green cards. They're not Mexicans, and they can't crawl under the fence to get here. And even if they could, who says they want to?


I got tired of replying to this, myself. But, I just don't understand... first,...why sicilians coming to the US involving themselves in mafia are still being called zips. Anytime something comes up about OC, and talk about sicilians coming to the US, they are called a zip. It's stupid and shows complete ignorance.

That's why I used the parentheses when I replied to the initial post: "zips."

And ditto on everything else you just posted. Carm smile
