"In the 1700s in the USA, the primary nationalities of immigrants were Germans and Scots-Irish.
Germans began arriving in significant numbers around 1670, primarily settling in Pennsylvania and New York.
Scots-Irish also migrated during this period, with around 200,000 emigrating between 1710 and 1775, often seeking better economic opportunities.
Other groups included Dutch, Irish, and Swedish immigrants, but the majority were from Northern and Western Europe."

The REASON these groups starting fleeing their own countries and flocking to the US were economic in nature. No jobs.
In ITALY, in the mid 1700's there was a period of strong economic growth. Plenty of jobs. Typically, people don't emigrate unless they are desperate.
I do believe that our distant ancestors functioned just fine without them. When the Italians DID finally arrive in force, they didn't speak the language, and congregated in little ghettos inside the major cities.
