I wish it was only 20 million. 85% or more of my neighbors are Hispanic and many speak little or no English, which tells me they’re recent arrivals.
Not necessarily. Plenty of legals and illegals can't speak English, even after being here for decades.
“85% or more of my neighbors are Hispanic and many speak little or no English, which tells me they’re recent arrivals.”
No so. I heard a news story a couple of years ago when UC Berkeley took janitor jobs private. IN the story they interviewed a man who had worked as a janitor for 25 years. They had to interview him through an interpreter. Worse than that, union jobs at schools provide free education. IN 25 years this man did NOTHING to better himself. Oddly, the tone of the story was such to try and illicit sympathy for this man.
I read here on FR that Mrs. Jeb Bush can hardly speak English.
Someone please correct me if that’s wrong.
I used to teach ESL for adults and some of my students had been here for many years.
