Yeah, but the Italians came with basically the rest of Eastern/southern Europe for work around that time and were just wrapped up in the generic anti-immigration zeitgeist and the Polish, Slavs, Greek, etc didnât complain as much and didnât even manage to turn a bedtime story about a creepy Italian dude into a story of how they secretly actually founded America first.
Though apparently up to like half of Italian immigrants were known to return home after they saved up enough money from US factory work. I think they just didnât like being in the US.
