Thus, due to the absence of a legitimate purpose and origin of the source it already possesses huge problems to the volubility. However it is a rare primary source showcasing truly the issues immigrant’s faces more from an eye-witnesses point of view. Even with its limitations it must be considered that since the source if from another source written by a notable historian who would produce an expert in Sicilian Mafia, thus making this source a very valuable one.
