I teach it.

Well I'm glad you at least have a job.

The best way to deal with illegal immigration is to stop it. Also, the best way to ensure that legal immigrants have a successful future in this country is to demand that they learn English before they arrive.

You are right, although see my post #198. None of my great-grandparents learned English before arriving and they prospered relatively well. Same goes for many Cuban, Indian and Korean immigrants I have met. It would be great if every school in the world taught English as a second language, but it aint gonna happen anytime soon. How many Americans, btw, can speak a language OTHER THAN ENGLISH very well.
