1) Reason 4 this: not stupidity, pride. Spanish was my 1st language. Many Hispanic immigrants know English, but refuse to speak it. Instead
"Hispanic immigrants struggle the most with English literacy. Their average score falls at the 8th percentile, and 63% are below basic."

2)They use their kids as translators. But as more immigrants enter each new generation is slower to adapt. USA coddles foreigners to excess.
-
3) Solution: Codify English as national language! All new citizens must learn English & no more than 2 years ESL for very young.
-
4) A nation w/o a set language isn't a nation of United citizens! If u are American, u must be fluent in English, either ASL or verbally!

...And yet, in many ways, the outlaw rural ways that once made America great only live on in Mexican corridos culture.
