Disregarding the immigration issue, have you ever checked on the legal rights of grandparents as it pertains to their grandkids?  Generally speaking, it's very limited and can vary from state to state.  You have to prove to the courts you are very close to your grandkids and have a beneficial relationship to them for contact/visitation rights in family disputes.  Extended family can get in the tall weeds very quickly.
