But the "Little Italy" of today are mostly American-Italians helping the relative small number of Italian immigrants to assimilate.
The "Little Mexico" of today is a permanent fixture of mostly illegal Mexican immigrants not wanting to assimilate, sending money back to Mexico, crossing our unsecured border at will.
Having Christian roots does not immune one of Liberalism and government dependence.
I live in a “Little Italy”. The Archdiocese of Boston screwed the Italian Church that had been in my neighborhood for over 75 years by selling the building to a Haitian Church whose parishioners commute to from Boston. We still have our Feast every year which features the statue of St. Rocco in the street. Some of their parishioners told us to remove the statue from OUR street because it offended them.
