I had a patient once, she was 100 years old and from China with ZERO English, having arrived permanently in the US 3 months prior, immediately parked at a hospital for the indigent in the USA:
Her kids drove cars much better than mine; nice enough people but they were extravagantly casual about what they were doing, didn’t bat an eyelash.
They needed me to read and write basic messages from her, since I can SORT OF read her language, kinda:
Ridiculous.
They have these Chinese info packs, explaining how to put all your relatives on benefits immediately.
It’s disgusting, really, really enraging.

Voting and school materials written in 40 or 50 languages is enraging, too. The Voting Rights Act required that a language other than English be printed if a significant fraction of the population in a voting precinct were non-English speakers. Those lawmakers didn’t anticipate the completely uncontrolled immigration from every nation, the Democrats wanting to keep everybody in warring, Balkanized special-interest groups and the loss of the desire of many immigrants to want to become true Americans.
But they won’t take care of our Veterans...
Let that sink in.
