I do not find fault with the Supreme Courts ruling. I think. surely. it is far better that these young people shall be in school learning the English language than that they should be out upon the streets furtively seeking to avoid detection. But as all of us know. there has been a great influx of immigrants into this country. some legal and a great many illegal. I do not know how many undocumented workers there are in the country. I do not think anybody has any accurate count of them. I have had the pleasure during this recent recess period and previously of attending some schools. some elementary schools and some middle schools. which are undertaking the herculean task of trying to teach young people of disparate racial and linguistic backgrounds the English language and trying to give them a mastery or our language in the shortest period of time possible in order that they then would be equipped to cope with the subject matter and stay abreast of their fellow students in their regular classes.
