As an immigrant I find bi-lingual education to be an abomination. The sum of the whole is less than the parts. What you wind up with people who are effectively illiterate in two languages. Yes you can spend your entire life speaking Spanish in parts of Los Angeles, Miami and in other areas. That’s fine if your ambition in life is to be a dishwasher or a manual laborer. An interesting point is that wealthy Latins make sure their children are fluent in English. But then again their ambition in life for their kids is several notches higher than the barrio.
