How did Italian alien ancestors travel to and from US?

Some of my Italian ancestors were what is called "Birds of passage" - they went back and forth between the United States and Italy. This was around 1905 - 1920. How did they do this? As aliens I understand that passports weren't required, but wouldn't there have to be some kind of documents for them to travel out of the country and back in?
