“That’s like saying better learn Italian/Chinese/German after various earlier immigration waves. The successful immigrants will learn English, and eventually the children/grandchildren of the rest will do so also. I hope.”
Not hardly. Why are we pressing 1 for English then?
The legal Irish and Italian immigrants were expected to learn English and were not catered to by liberals.
The massive invasion we have now does not encourage anyone to assimilate. Go to Mexifornia- Americans are expected to learn Spanish. Most jobs require you to be bilingual, signs in stores are in Spanish, even teachers in schools are teaching in Spanish!
You are obviously NOT in a border state. GO visit one and get back to me.
The Irish were quick learners. They mastered English on the way over.
