The bilingual lobbys disinterest in teaching English to the students in bilingual programs appears to be motivated by pure selfinterest. After all. if the bilingual education program is dismantled. the bilingual bureaucrats would have to find honest work. More importantly. newly Englishproficient immigrants might just integrate into the American economy and cause these bureaucrats to lose their dependent constituency. Thus New York City. like most States and cities. employs an entire staff of bilingual bureaucrats whose job it is to convince reluctant parents of the virtues of bilingual education. Were a businessman to do what these people do. he or she would be indicted for consumer fraud.
