Sinc we are discussing this, I'd like to propose a scenario. Suppose that back during the era when our great-granparents and grandparents came here from Italy, what if we had the media we have today: newspaper, the web, cable TV, radio, and 24/7 news. Would our ancestors have been raked over the coals like some in the media rake immigrants (legal or illegal) today? Afterall, how many of them spoke english?; how many jobs were they taking from real Americans?; were they still loyal to Italy?: what about that strange food?; they all stick together in those ghettos; and what about the Mafia?
I wonder.
