If you improve English proficiency, proficiency in math and science will go up.

True.

But many immigrants who are on top of math and science - are English proficient as it is.

Either way, as long as it's a drain of resources I'm in. Be it English classes or a ballroom.

Now - IF someone says "LEGAL immigration only.....and as part of that ENGLISH will be requirement where in X years the only bilingual service we provide is at hospitals...." -- lemme know, I might be vehemently for it.

But doing it because we have to? Back when I cared - I was against it. If I'm gonna pick up and move to Italy -- IT'S MY RESPONSIBILITY to learn Italian and be fluent. If my retired bachelor uncle, moves to Brazil (which the did just that in the 90s...) - it was his responsibility to be fluent in Portuguese ---and he was before he landed there.
