Instead of requireing literacy in English, the Government could offer grants to those tutoring companies and libraries or community colleges to offer more classes and community outreach to teach english (ESL) classes. A public service media blitz showing the benefits of learning English would go a long way.

Unfortunately these things don’t work as well a when there is some sort of deadline imposed —as “it will be necessary for the 2012 election” or some such thing.

Still, every little bit helps. I’m not sure we can wait for the 2nd or 3rd generation of immigrants to be proficient enough to compete in the workplace.

Works for me! You know English is supposed to be the official language of California, but everywhere I look there are signs in others that I can’t read. So much for equality.
