From living in predominantly Spanish-speaking communities all my life, I can testify that most immigrants want to learn English

“The hysteria over Spanish-speaking people in the United States must stop. Already more than two dozen states have variants of “English Only” laws. In one such state, North Carolina, I visited a classroom where a teacher had to sneak Spanish words onto a chalkboard so that her mostly Spanish-speaking students could learn. A student served as lookout to make sure no administrator happened by.

What’s going on here?”
