I am so sick of the onus falling on us to teach immigrants how to speak English, or us having to speak some foreign language in the USA. My parents were legal immigrants and they spoke fluent English upon their arrival in the USA, why can’t we expect immigrants to even do that anymore?

If you're in a farming community and Mexican labor is needed to work the crop, then the public services better be ready. It's unsafe to police populations for which the force does not speak the language.

Otherwise it's a formula for disaster. If you can get all those American college school kids and welfare recipients out there to stoop and bend, then problem solved, but good luck.
