Could be a fair amount of ESL students are Asian.
The demographics in suburban Seattle are sure changing - many more Asians, Indians and muslims. But 10 to 15 years ago it was primarily Latinos.
The huge influx of Chinese into the Seattle area is mostly the very wealthy leaving Canada (and not illegal). Perhaps a poor assumption on my part - but I’m guessing their kids have been given the opportunity and support to learn English.
30+ years ago I tried to help out a Latino mom and daughter with car trouble. The little girl spoke English but the mom didn’t. They refused my help - the little girl said her mom would only trust other Mexicans in their town. I asked he how far that was - she said “50 miles”. (The car wasn’t going to make it.)
Being illegal has consequences - such as limiting yourself to your own kind, not learning the language, etc. Of course Liberals will see that as a reason to make them legal. I see it as a reason to send them home, where they won’t have to fear ICE. And maybe these DREAMERS can dream of turning their own countries into a successful, great place to live.
