We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie
So, let me see if I got this right. People arrived at Ellis Island and their name was on a list (that traveled with the boat they were on) and that proves that their “documents were in order” for leaving a country that wanted to be rid of them. Is that right? What have I missed?
Don't believe everything you think.
Ok. How about this:
One false etymology or backronym of wop is that it is an acronym for "without passport" or "without papers", implying that Italian immigrants entered the U.S. as undocumented or illegal immigrants.[9][10][11] The term has nothing to do with immigration documents, as these were not required by U.S. immigration officers until 1924,[12] after the slur had already come into use in the United States.
Wikipedia entry but seemingly well sourced.

Keep up. We went over the open boarder thing already. “Without papers” couldn’t have been a thing because, yes, you didn’t need papers. Whatever name you gave the shipping agent who sold you a boarding pass was the name you came in under. The agents at Ellis island or wherever didn’t write down names. They matched names against an existing register that the ship‘s captain certified.
Yeah, didn’t happen. They did it themselves.
