Please don't compare my family coming here to the illegal Mexicans coming here.

good for them but the premise behind them coming here remains the same.
I know a mexican guy that became legal and learned English and he makes much more than me. The 'imports' that take this route are smart (like your grandparents)
Too bad not all immigrants are smart enough to think about do it legally or to even learn the native language, but hey, the world needs ditch diggers too...
