Victor Davis Hanson bump!

Any discrimination Mexican immigrants suffer is discrimination that stems from their refusal to assimilate into American society. They may be looked upon as different, and treated differently, because they want to remain different. Show me an immigrant who diligently works at assimilating himself and his family into American society, and I'll show you an immigrant on his way to realizing the American Dream.

I wonder what people would be saying the answer is to this problem was, if the influx of immigrants into California, were from an English speaking nation? Speaking English cannot be the band-aid for the entire problem, can it?

About 20 percent of California residents cannot speak English proficiently

He should've included Asians also in his book.Anyone who lives in the other 49 states would be stunned at the amount of Asians who have migrated to Calif. in the last 20 years.(most speak limited 'if any' english)

"Making English the official language of the United States government will get the melting pot working again".

That is a nice dream,but that is never going to happen, it's too late and it's simply out of the question. No politician is going to alienate his voting base and vote for that,though they should.Spanish people are the majority in the county of Los Angeles,so says our 2000 Census.White people are a minority in L.A.now,who would've ever thought?Wait until the spanish people here, recognize the power of their vote in the future Local and National elections.

"About 20 percent of California residents cannot speak English proficiently and this number is rising."

A friend of mine got 10 randomly picked Mexicans from the local hangout last year to do some work. One of them understood English.

In the near future, Californians will be fighting to have election ballots written in English.
