“My parents didn’t come here with nothing.” Sounds like Michelle opened with ghetto slang.

Ah hah, the grammar Nazis have arrived. Actually, I expect that Michelle came from the good English grammar ghetto.
Which of the following POSITIVE statements would be correct (or sound most correct to you)?
1. My parents came here with nothing!
or
2. My parents came here with anything!
Now make whichever one of the above is grammatically correct NEGATIVE and what do you have?
I’m not trying to be a nit-picker, but I think Michelle Malkin is wonderful and I don’t like to see her (even marginally and in good humor) attacked. I believe that Michelle’s word construction was correct.
....and, remember, Michelle’s NEGATIVE word “didn’t” applied to “come here” and not to “nothing”. OK, I’m hereby resigning my temporary commission in the Grammar Nazis.
Hey, I got hammered on here recently for a missing apostrophe.
Would ‘’My parents arrived here without anything’’ be correct?
