Well, I actually have an Italian heritage (had Italian citizenship before American), and actually live in the Jersey Shore (

)... your typical guido here speaks English, retains some Italian cultural things, but overall they're proud Americans.
They're also don't forget where they come from, but that's where it ends.
As a former non-mexican-Latino, that's something I never understood about Mexicans... the whole 'La Raza' pride... I mean, logically speaking, you left your country because it ing sucks... why would you want to turn this country into the same hole you left? DoK is spot on about Latin-American countries... they're full of corruption and incompetence.. why in the world would you want to transplant that here?
