Therefore we as the Federal Government must promote and enhance the ability of all Americans. no matter what their heritage. to read. speak. and understand this language of opportunity. According to a study done by Dr. Richard Vedder and Dr. Lowell Galloway of Ohio University it was found that if immigrant knowledge of English were raised to that of nativeborn Americans. their income levels would increase by $63 billion a year. It was also concluded that the current situation has trapped 1.5 million immigrants in poverty. The simple truth is that those who cannot function in our countrys predominant language are less able to find jobs. As a result. they are cheated of the opportunity for improvement and happiness that America promises to millions.
