How would we go about making it easier?
Your parents obviously were desirables. It's not as straight forward for anyone lacking in education or skills. And it's the same in every country. We've got an opera singer, Anna Netrepko, who doesn't speak a single word of German. Got her passport in a few seconds. Others are reuquired to learn the language - which is fine, by the way, but don't get the chance if they're not needed at all.
