I think many immigrants know the deal when they move here. From the ones I've met it seems to me they are setting their kids up for better lives, not necessarily themselves.

Exactly. When my grandparents came to this country, they could barely speak English and their formal education stopped at the third grade, when they had to stop going to school so they could help earn money for their families. Once in Canada, they had to work a bunch of crappy jobs for lousy pay, but they were able to provide for my mother, who went on to become a successful business woman that is now CFO of her company. That's the whole point of moving to the western world. It shouldn't be about having things handed to you because you are uneducated and don't speak the language.
