(Get to listen to the first half-hour, anyway...!)
In the first half-hour,
He said that non-skilled immigrants from non-European nations
will never catch up in skills, and their children wouldn't,
and maybe not even the third generation.
He's using scare tactics.
Jim Edwards is a fearmonger, and a liar.
Sometimes non-skilled immigrants raise children who learn English and do well in school but in very many cases, they don't prepare them for school, they don't help them with homework, they don't encourage them to stay in school. Where I live there's a 38% drop out rate and many drop out in middle school ---that's in spite of bilingual programs they can stay in all the way through and a college that offers classes in Spanish. Also many of them start having babies at 12 or 13 and end up on welfare and the cycle repeats.
The problem isn't that the parents don't "prepare" their children,
the problem is that the teachers don't teach the children.
Bilingual programs are also a big factor.
there shouldn't be any bilingual teaching.
Our culture uses English,
and that's what the kids need
to function in our society.
