21. Perhaps they are immigrants?

My wife's parents are immigrants, came to America with next to nothing in 1980 and have a fantastic life. I have so many friends or in-laws that are immigrants or sons and daughters of immigrants that are making great lives here in America. My best friend is an immigrant's son and he's working on selling his company for $100MM (he owns 10%).
