You're right - but businesses that perpetuate those divisions are betray everyone's future. All of us came from immigrants and all of our families learned good technical English.
Wal-Mart and the other profiteers are only restricting those immigrants to substandard futures.

It drives me nuts when I see bilingual signs on county and federal buildings. I want English to be and remain the official language of my country. I don't believe in bilingual education. However Wal-mart is a private enterprise that has every right to seek any advantage that does not break the law to expand it's business. They are providing at their expensive a service and a product that they see will be attractive to a large group of consumers. The young legal immigrants are learning English it's the illegals that are slower on the uptake. They don't feel the same stake in our society .
