Make em learn English.

We now have lots of Spanish only signs and billboards all over the Texas area. Lots of "immigrants" don't even bother to try and learn or speak English. And they're getting away with it.

It's a scientifically proven fact that kids who are neurologically intact and reasonably intelligent learn languages very easily and very quickly.

Immersion is the correct way for the kids...."bilingual" is the correct way for teachers' unions that want to expand their membership and increase their dues revenue.

I used to teach school 1973-1975 in Texas. I remember, for example, a student named Gilbert. CUTE little kindergarten boy, who had just moved from Mexico. Didn't speak a word of English other than CAR! He loved American cars. I saw him a year or so later and he was 100% totally fluent in English. It works when in total immersion. I am moving to Italy soon and I am taking Italian NOW. I don't even visit another country without knowing basic conversation!

When rich white liberals want their kids to learn a language, they ship their kids to an emersion course in Europe.

When rich white liberals want brown kids to learn English, they give them bilingual education.
