My grandparents were LEGAL immigrants, although dirt-poor and uneducated. Their kids (my uncles/aunts/parents) all graduated from college - some had grad degrees - and were tax-paying engineers, teachers, and one a nurse. Drop down to my generation of cousins and siblings, and we have doctors, lawyers, pharmacists, senior corporate managers, and two college professors.

Could it be that people who obey the laws - those who apply legally - recognize that success and achievement take discipline, a willingness to follow rules, and an ability to tolerate delayed gratification and thus have passed those values onto their kids? And the ones who "jump the line," climb the fence, whatever, in violation of laws, have more of a "tske, take, tske" entitlement attitude, and the rules don't apply to ME,  and thus pass those values on to their kids?

In other words, have legal immigrants essentially been pre-screened for the values that make them more likely to succeed? [/quote]
