Well put. It's the same way in virtually every urban center that was ever home to Italian Americans. One group of immigrants assimilates and moves out, a different one moves in. Times change, demographics change.

Now I personally think that the "newer" immigrant groups leave something to be desired as human beings. It's their attitude more than anything else. They hate America and they let you know it the second they get here. The old Italians, Jews, Irish, Poles, Germans, and other European immigrants were cut from a different cloth. They embraced and LOVED this country.

That's why, if these newer immigrants never make it out of poverty, I'll have zero sympathy for them.



So very much this...

They don't attempt to learn English and suck their teeth when you tell them you don't speak whatever it is they speak. They can't wait to come here to get away from whatever hell hole they came from so they can deliver their babies in our hospitals and use our tax dollars to pay the bill, but then profess how much they love that hell hole, and refuse to adapt in any way.

Please... if you dont like it here.... go back !
