He's got it wrong. The Polish, Jews, Italians, Russians and Irish walked the same path because they all lacked melanin in their skin, so they could become "white"! No melaninated people have made the jump yet. Asians may be the first to do so. It's not about bilingualism.

The Founding Fathers never envisioned a multiracial Republic in which nonwhites would be equal to them. Even George Washington who owned 300 slaves never envisioned an America with Africans living freely alongside whites. They all even those who were anti slavery thought
-
That freed slaves should be returned to Africa. The lack of incite is quite astonishing. As Africans fought alongside them in the Revolution, this idea never occurred to them. It is a massive moral failure shared by the entire generation. Quite the failure in moral leadership

Imagine being one of Lord Dunmore's "Ethiopian Regiment" only to find out after the Revolution that it was a bunch of lies. The values of the Enlightenment, the essence of freedom of the Declaration of Independence, all betrayed to slaveholders. They tied the country's future

To a morally bankrupt and evil institution. The price for this devil's bargain to be paid by some future generations...Well, we are still paying for the sins of the founding fathers who, as it turns out, are only flawed men, and not gods to be worshipped. Dr. Samuel Johnson

I can’t decide whether this piece is more incompetently argued, or more racist. Trash regardless.

Which of course is a recipe for higher cost education, extra dead weight on the National economy, and further drag on competitiveness. Those who have come to the US for centuries have self selected for opportunity- not to be pandered to by vanity activists

I see two points here, but now how they connect. One is that the great-great-grandchildren of Irish immigrants are successful in spite of the awful way they were treated. The other is that bilingual education will harm current immigrants. How does one point prove the other?
-
The author offers no data about the assimilation of current immigrants, possibly because if he were to do so the data would undermine his argument.
