Immigrant students need to learn how to speak English.  If not, it will be to their detriment in the job market.  When I was a kid growing up in the 1940s, my parents asked me if I wanted to learn how to speak Japanese.  I said, “No, I’m an American.  I don’t want to learn how to speak Japanese.”  I felt this way even though I was an American of Japanese Ancestry (AJA).  Later on in life, however, I regretted not learning how to speak Japanese!  Kids who do not want to speak American English will someday grow to regret it, particularly if they desire to get out of doing menial labor their whole life and get into the more lucrative jobs in science, technology, engineering, law, medicine, and other professions.

As Dr. Michael Savage says, “Borders, Language, and Culture.”  We should close our borders to keep out illegal aliens.  We all should learn how to speak American English.  We should assimilate into the American culture and become true Americans instead of maintaining our Old World ways in communes of our own racial extractions.  Diversity is perversity.  Become true Americans and stop trying to change America to your Old World ways.  If not, just go back from whence you came.  America is the melting pot of the world.  Get with it and join the melting pot, not form your own pots separated from American culture.

Learning how to speak American English well is a great competitive equalizer.  Indeed, it could even be a competitive edge.  If you cannot communicate in English, how can you convince other people of any of your ideas?  How can you discuss things to grow personally?  How can you sell yourself in an interview?  How can you show people how much you know?  How can you win any arguments?  How can you acquire friends other than your own kind?

Learning how to speak English and acquiring a good American education levels the playing field.  Why would you want to run uphill while everyone else is running on a flat playing field?  It makes no sense if you ever desire to get ahead in the United States.  Why did you come to the land of opportunity if you desire not to take advantage of those opportunities?  Did you not come to America to get ahead and make a success of yourself within the broader society instead of just being in your own little communes?  Yes, I really mean communes instead of communities!  Wise up and learn to speak English.
