VDARE article.
Read here. Note that in contrary to the ignorant Mangan, the reality of a specifically Southern Italian migration to the USA during the "Great Wave" is explicitly cited.
Also of relevance, emphasis added:
The first Italian-American to be elected to Congress was Anthony Caminetti, the native born son of a Sicilian immigrant. Caminetti was elected to the US House of Representatives from the state of California in the 1890's. However, his largest impact on national policy came when he was named Commissioner General of Immigration by President Woodrow Wilson in 1913.
Caminetti implemented an “America First” migration program that would impact policy for decades. He believed in the maintenance of America's historic demographic majority and strongly campaigned against immigration from Asia.
Against immigration from Asia? For shame! What would the HBDers think?
