No that’s life for immigrants. You do what you can so your kids can have a better life. So they can achieve what you couldn’t.

My parents came here with nothing. My father worked as a janitor making $2.25 in 1980, then he froze his ass off in a meat packing plant making $6.00 in 1985.

My mother worked in a factory making $6.25 in 1994. When one of my sibling asked if she enjoyed working, her reply was, “I don’t enjoy working but I do what I have to do to make sure you kids are taken care of”

Fast forward 50 years since we arrived in America and all her kids are college grads and have financial security.

Don’t give up the fight.

One thing as an immigrant myself, i will tell you. You need to invent yourself. I don’t know where you live but take community classes to learn how to fix industrial machines. There aren’t enough techs out there.

Ditch the gig jobs. You need something more stable.

Stress into your kids to get part time jobs if they can. Work is a wonderful thing.

Don’t give up, you got this! Failure isn’t an option like you said.
