The author in this article wants to point out the fact that non-bilingual programs are anti-immigration. She tries to prove that only by assimilating the latino population into bilingual programs will we truly show that our nation accepts and wants them. She uses examples from states like Arizona where recent laws have made it so that teachers cannot say non-English words in class to clarify material. He also adds an interesting bit of information by talking about a study that shows a child will learn a second language better if they first become fluent in their native tongue.
