Just like the Westies who went from a prominently Irish ethnic organization to an influx of Serbian members.




People were floating that theory about bringing Italians over 20 years ago. Eventually all the families will give way to general attrition - the last being the 5 NY families. I'm not sure how long it will take but they will always be Italian-American crime families for as long as they're around.
