Immigrant children by and large integrate excelptionally well with their parent's adopted country. They are fluent in the language and go on to be successful contributors to society.
For the most part, birth rates are on the decline in the west. Immigration is one way to increase the population growth and grow the economy.
Personally I have no problem with immigrant who can't speak the language, it is a small inconvenience for the growth of our nations.

You are so right on with that. Although the immigrants themselves may not speak English, their kids usually speak both languages. That gives them such an edge with education

It amazes me how the people get bothered by the smallest things.
