Question. If there is not a sufficient recruiting pool in America, why don't they recruit people from Sicily? True these guys todays are 5th/6th gen Italian-Americans but at least some have to have connections back home.
When guys suggest just recruiting guys from Sicily, what exactly makes anyone think Sicilians want to be in this country? They do have their own minds and can think. I always hear it put the way you did, and it implies that sicilians are some sort of property and can just be brought here if wanted.
Sicilians don't want to be here. They're happy where they are.
And if they do come here, then what? They're here as visitor, which means they can only stay 6 months and have to keep going back to renew visitor status to come back here. Eventually they may be granted a visa, but if not, they'll get tossed out.
It's not as easy as just recruit sicilians to come here. Nobody ever puts much thought into that statement.
