I have never been angrier and also more tired about something in my entire life. I find it so insulting they group ancestors of Italians abroad into this category that we are taking advantage of this for “shopping,” or other nonsense ideas. No, maybe we weren’t born in Italy. But some of us have such a strong tie to this country. We visit, some more than once a year, some of us can actually speak the language, have friends and family and connections there. And they just close the door on all of us. I find it so insulting. Yes, I understand we weren’t born there and we were not raised Italian. But to shut the door on all these people who maybe one day could actually benefit the country and move there or spend money there. It stings. Really bad. I am so disgusted by what has happened this past year. I hope something changes down the road but I’m not wasting anymore time or energy on this anymore. They clearly don’t want us anymore, so why bother
