The detail that connects to the theme that for many immigrants, America offered a better life than the country they came from is:
b. In Italy, Lopinto's great-great grandfather would have worked his whole life for nothing.
This statement highlights the challenges faced in the country of origin (Italy) and implies that moving to America provided opportunities that were not available back home, thereby supporting the idea of a better life in America.
