Italian-Americans/Italy have a more powerful lobby than the Viking-Americans.

I was always amused how little Belgium got hit with provisional status (distinct from probationary status) in the VWP over passport issues while Italy was beyond being challenged when having much the same issues. Then again, I prefer gelato to Belgian waffles; and we know American tourists are more interested in visiting Italy than in visiting Belgium.
