Yes, many immigrants from those areas came to the US and were naturalized. You are aware of efforts to restrict immigration from those areas of Europe, yes? As for popular opinion, have you ever read some of the editorials or seen some of the derogatory cartoons from mainstream newspapers of the time as related to immigrants from Southern, Southeastern Europe, and Ireland?
