The author in this article gives many reasons as to why bilingual education is a bad thing for immigrants. He quotes many immigrant parents who don’t want their children to be stuck in their economic circumstances. Instead, they want their children to be able to live a better life, and they understand that the only way they will find themselves capable of doing so will be through their children’s mastery of English. The author believes the solution to this problem is to be found in the extermination of bilingual programs where these children fall well behind other classmates their age. The argument is that it is harder on the youth to learn English, but it is what they need to do to have the same opportunities as other children in the U.S.
