  • She is sweet, I wish she had never left her country.

  • @Portis1Luv I know that there must be some good America, but the system is wrong. The word American for the "whites", and the suffixPlus American to the rest of the world. The movies I see, the stereotypes they make up and believe they are true... And when they come here and think I am not "pure Italian" because I am ginger, completely ignoring the presence of the Celts before the Romans... Just keep your ignorance for yourselves. I'll never bother you and will never go to USA, NEVER!

  • @Portis1Luv ... and Italians are still mistreated, although we built the Western culture (economy, jurisdiction, literature...). Although the word America comes from our Amerigo Vespucci! I have just discovered that they think Southern Italians are mixed with the Africans and Arabs and that Northern Italians with Germans (based on fake history) just to cancel our Roman identity. And what is Jersey Shore, with fake Italians? And the sh.it I read on the newspapers.. And what I found on YouTube!!!

  • @Portis1Luv I'll never go to USA. I do not like what I read and see on TV. Many years ago there were "legends" about who had left the country. I am sure that if they had had the opportunity to come back, they would.

    Now I see the truth. USA is a land which belongs to no one, still there are someone who claims the right to rule based on arrogance.

  • Ok first i just want to a apologize of my comment and yeah everyone struggle coming to this country and everyone deserve an honor for the hard working on one and each of us. Just my past comment dint fit on this page so i`m sorry and god bless you all

  • it took years for Italians to be accepted in the US, YEARS, no offense m8 but read some history about how Irish, Italian, and Chinese were treated for about 60 years. Peace.

  • yeah they did it tough, reminds me of my nonno and nonna who migrated from sicily to australia man was that a journey, my thoughts go out to all those immogrants who worked their asses off and started new lives and created such a wonderful legacy for their grandchildren and that goes for all other ethinc groups as well . your story signora is a great one to tell , make sure your grandchildren hear it. well god bless you all ciao e bouna fortuna , from a australian italian, peace and love.ciao
