I wouldn't say they learned it all that well ---but many know some ---not nearly enough to find jobs that require English. It's easier to sue to get more welfare money (the taxpayers aren't just providing 18 months of free education, we're also paying their living expenses while they're supposed to be persuing this education). We have a lot here who I doubt will ever work again ---- it was better when they were making their $8-10 an hour and getting health insurance and setting an example for their kids to see ---parents going off to work. Now it's just wait for the government money to come in each month.
