This is good news, to counter the despair of people who mistakenly think that Hispanics are not integrating themsleves into American society.

I'm sure you can explain why I have to chose from between two and four languages every time I call a utility or a business concern. So much for your theory. If people come here legally, I have no problem with it, although I think we are incredibly stupid if we allow large numbers of immigrants from terrorist states.

It depends on where you live obviously. Here one-half the kids are in Spanish speaking classrooms, one third the population speaks Spanish only (no English at all), only about a third speaks English well ---the rest speak partial English ----however only one fourth is from Mexico. There would be no need for all the expensive "bilingual" ed if kids were really being allowed to learn English. Also the hispanic dropout rate is now 50% and quite a bit higher than the black dropout rate, they aren't assimilating all that well.

It's actually a complete opposite of your above statement.

She is part of a very small minority of Mexican immigrants, so no, this is not good news.
