Wow. So you’ve never met a bi-lingual doctor or pastor or police officer? You simply assume the daughter of an American foreign born citizen will not be able to obtain any status above lowly laborer? You are showing extreme ignorance.
If only my father who grew up speaking German and English had known the fate of the children of foreign born citizens; he could have gone right to sausage making school and skipped the whole attorney thing.
My dad speaks 11 languages. I speak just one. You and I jumped to different conclusions about the girl and her mother than each other. I guess there is no way to prove either of us is right.
Did your father demand bilingual German - English public school instruction? Bilingual ballots in both German and English. Did he get to press 2 for German? No? Maybe that’s why he grew up to be a lawyer and not a sausage maker. My grandfather growing up in rural Minnesota could say grace in German, Dutch, Norwegian and English. I can’t.
I would never go to a doctor whose primary language isn’t English. I’d (1) assume he wasn’t schooled in America; and/or (2) wonder if he received his credentials via AA; or (3) if he would communicate effectively regarding my situation verbally or in writing (prescriptions, etc.). He may be a great doctor, but I wouldn’t risk it.
