If we were in Mexico, would there be a hue and cry for English to be taught to the American immigrants? Would Mexican social service providers, Mexican teachers, or Mexican businesses be intimidated into providing -- at their expense -- English-only documents?

I agree pretty much with everything here. I know of some places that print documents in over 50 different languages. I think that new (legal) immigrants should be rquired to take English language classes at night. It should be noted that the great majority of immigrants' children do learn English. I don't mind some accommodation to Spanish, but it should not go overboard which seems like what is happening more and more. I am in complete support of this bill.

The author missed on just one point though. While in Korea, every foreign resident I met there did NOT send their son or daughter to a Korean school. It was to an English-speaking school. When a lot of Americans go abroad, we look for someone who speaks English (much as Spanish speakers do here). If Americans were any sizable minority in Mexico (in the millions), then I do indeed would insist on English instruction being given in schools, or at the very least, they would attend English schools.
