Agree entirely with this last comment. But, I think this is the same with all immigrants who come to our countries looking for a better life, not so much for themselves, but definitely for their children.

One only has to look at the professions to see who are taking over the top positions, mainly children of immigrants because (IMO) they see the opportunities which they would never have had in their own countries, but our children have grown up with these opportunities and are very much inclined to take them for granted.
