The Mexican Americans. the Nations second largest minority group. face the same problems of poverty and discrimination as other minority groups. but in addition. they have a language handicap. The same problems are faced by our ChineseAmerican population. I am proud to say that San Francisco has the largest ChineseAmerican population of any city in the United States. currently in the neighborhood of 75.000 people. Since most of the Chinese immigration into the United States of about 10.000 people per year occurs through San Francisco. the numbers of this group are increasing rapidly. The subcommittee heard testimony that as many as 25.000 to 30.000 ChineseAmericans in San Francisco do not speak English. Naturally. some of our other minority groups such as the American Indians.
