Study: Latinos Learn English Faster than Past Immigrants

Opponents of immigration often proclaim that today’s immigrants, unlike those of the days of old, fail to assimilate and fail to learn English.  Many who oppose high levels of Latino immigration argue that these new immigrants don’t learn English as quickly as prior waves of European immigrants did.A series of new studies, however, reveals a different picture. Latinos are doing pretty well at learning English, especially when compared to many German immigrants of the 19th century, who were considerably slower to acquire the language. For more on the study, click here.
