How and Why did your Family come to the United States (1 paragraph)

My grandpa jumped the border and my grandma drove across the border with family saying "she had forgot her wallet at the grocery store". They came to United states because there was no opportunity for a bright future in the village they lived in. My grandpa had already lived in the United states prior to crossing the border with my grandma.

Some of the obstetrical my grandparents face is that neither of them went to high school and my grandpa only made it to 6th grade and grandma made it to 7th grade so they could not use their education to score a job. My grandparent migrated to the united states illegally in 1978. My grandparents did not have documents which also made it difficult for them to find a good paying job in the United states. They spoke little to no English which also made it harder to live in the United states.
