So the only thing I really got out of this was about the language difficulties. As far as I can tell the author is making a point that immigrants coming to this country are mad because people expect them to know or to learn English. My aunt is a teacher in Tuscon, AZ so she comes into contact with this a lot. Because of where she lives, there are a lot of Mexican immigrants and she is one of the people who thinks that they should be tought in Spanish instead of being forced to learn English. Every summer when she comes in to visit we have that same debate over wether or not immigrants should be forced to learn English. I think that they absolutely should. They are coming to this country and taking advantage of the government programs and other advantages that it has over there respective home countries. If they're going to do this, then the least they could do is learn the language. People that are already citizens of this country should not be forced to learn other languages to accomodate immigrants. The same should be true for any American that goes to a foreign country. If you expect to live somewhere, learn the language thats spoken. At my old job, there was a person who immigrated from the Middle East. He understood this concept, and even though he moved here as an adult, he still spoke English as good or better than I do. At another job I had, there was somebody who lived in Poland, that only came to work here for the summer. She still spoke excellent English, even though she was only here for a few months. Point being, if you live here, you have to assimilate; the majority always rules.
