15. Both my parents are first generation Americans

Dec 2018

My father's parents crossed the border "legally" in the 1920. Both Mexican parents crossed with lots of money. My grandfather crossed at El Paso$$$ My grandmother left at Porta Viarita with "lots" of money$$$ My mother's father came from Wales with "no"money. My Mexican grandfather was 25% Irish. His grandfather was born in Ireland. None of my Mexican cousins look Mexican and I have Japanese American cousins.....The family picnic is very diverse....People who make it to the border should be given immigration papers so they can work and pay taxes.......HAPPY NEW YEAR
