But note: from a business perspective it is foolish, indeed stupid, to not understand where a large portion of your customers might come from.....

Yes..True!....But you miss a salient point of this thred...Which is...That Immigrant Spanish children are placed at a tremendous and largely permanent disadvantage by having their parents decide for them that it is not important to learn English as their prime language......as every other major immigrant group has done before them.

Worng, wrong, wrong...I have never stated Hispanic kids shouldn't learn English...they absolutely should, and most Hispanics I know, agree with this.

Most **First Wave*** Immigrants have a hard time assimilating...most of their kids, assimilate quickly...that is true for today's immigrants and for yesterday's.
