Interesting opinion today in the DT. It seems literacy is a problem for local residents also. Check out the title. LOL. Lieracy Important for Immigrants as well as Local Residents http://www.thedailytimes.com/article/20071230/OP01/598037123/-1/OP Seriously, uneducated immigrants often have little demand of their own language, making English that much harder to learn. I see this first hand almost every day. The educated person usually does not need to leave his country to provide for his family. Our huddled masses are mostly uneducated.
