Fraud, I say! Fraud!
Puts me in mind of weak people who lack substance and integrity; like B-HO and Hillary’s sudden southern affectation when talking to a black audience or Madonna’s sudden English accent after living in London for less than a year. Sure, I’ll buy that the kid and dad both think they’re Afghanis, because they don’t really know WHO they are, in general.

You tend to lose your language skills when asked questions that you don’t want to answer.
Ask any school kid sitting out in the hallway at school or in the principal’s office.
This is BS. My mom grew up speaking Macedonian in her home. After marrying my dad, and then after her mon died, she didn’t speak Macedonian for about 25 years. When Grandpa Repcheff died, these frail 90+ year old Macedonian women came to the calling and my mom and my Aunt Vickie just jabbered away with them, in Macedonian.
The only case of losing a language I’m aware of was Cynthia Ann Parker, kidnapped by Comanches at age nine.
In high school, someone from my town had a Chinese foreign exchange student. Later in the year, they said he was have trouble speaking Chinese to his parents on the phone.
So...get the traitor a translator.
Baloney. I have lived in this country for well over 30 years and am still fluent in my native language. Total hogwash.
