Yeah right, this is incredibly ironic coming from you.

They had so many Mexican kids in the public schools, they started teaching courses in Spanish and English, as the illegal alien parents spoke little to no English. Rather than trying to teach the kids English, then Math and History, they just let them speak Espanol, rather than not graduate from HS. It was never about teaching the American kids Spanish, though that was a side deal. It was parallel course instruction, English or Spanish, bilingual education program, get it?

Down the road, they figured out what my buddy's wife, a legal immigrant who had a college education when she came here, figured out. You had best speak English in the USA. At her daughter's 11th birthday, her older brother gave her grief because her daughter only spoke a little Spanish, as the grandparents only spoke Spanish. He was unwise enough to be critical of her parenting choices in her home. She lit him up, as his kids only speak Spanish, no English at all. She pointed out to him that his children would be digging ditches and washing dishes, who did he really thing was doing the right thing for their kids? This was a very heated exchange in Spanish, and she gave every impression she was about to pick up a chair and break it over his melon.

These teachers have been given the opportunity to improve their English skills, or teach in classes that did not have anybody learning the lingo.


Your straw man construction sucks ass BTW. First of all, how many people are sneaking into Canada from Detroit and committing a bunch of violent crimes? Are Americans sneaking into Vancouver to kidnap family members of drug trade rivals? Are a third of the inmates in Canadian penitentiaries illegal aliens? Is Phoenix a border city? No more than LA is. WTF does a South Boston or Southern accent have to do with anything? Please, either pull your head out of your ass or STFU.
