Southern European immigrants, including Italians, were not welcomed in the United States. On December 18, 1880, a New York Times editorial titled “Undesirable Emigrants” railed against the arrival of “promiscuous, filthy, wretched, lazy, criminal dregs [from] the meanest sections of Italy.” Read more about Italian-Americans in Tazia and Gemma (see NOVELS).
