[quote=Anonymous]I think that unfortunately many who arrive not speaking English are undocumented. If the parents come legally for work, they are more likely to be highly educated (e.g., Ph.D. in technical field) and more likely to have provided educational opportunities for their children back home -- the children are more likely to have learned some level of English before arriving here.

In countries where education is poor -- including few chances to learn English -- parents are desperate for a better education for their children and will take many risks and incur many hardships to come here. Those children are most likely to arrive speaking no English or very little English.

I have empathy for those from countries where the educational opportunities are so poor. What would you do if through luck of the draw you were born in a country with few resources and your child would have no chance to go to a decent school or ever go to college? At the same time that I see problems created by undocumented families, I understand why they are here. [/quote]
