Between working, spending time on day-to-day things like cooking (since there's no money for eating out), shopping, finding a wife and then raising children, there's no time for English.

Several of my best friends here in Detroit grew up in Hamtramck and their grandparents, while having lived here most of their lives, chose not to learn English and instead spoke in Polish .......

I find it disconcerting the numbers of so called "conservatives" who continue to demean and look down on immigrants who came to this country and built a life for themselves and their families simply because they don't communicate in a manner these bigots demand..........

I don't think it was a choice. There was no time to do it. Andy Grove learned English from scratch and became CEO of Intel. But the guy's a flipping genius. Lucky Luciano learned English. But he was a gangster who arrived at age 10. Gangsters have a ton of free time in between strong arming people for "protection" money.
