I can only speak on the education part . Millions of American kids are not getting proper educations bc their teachers are spending lots of time w new arrivals who don’t speak English .

@AthrillatheHunt because you learn nothing from bilingual people -especially newcomers. You hate new information and don't benefit from it! As education specialist with degrees in language, I agree you would not learn ever. Murkans don't. Close the border and keep the darkness in! It's an emergency. No contact. You win.

@AthrillatheHunt Yeah because Bilingual states have never succeeded.
Oh wait...Louisiana used to have right to French education in the state constitution.
It is because the GOP wants to defend education and sell it off to Betsy Devos and company that education is a mess.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Puerto Rico is also bilingual . Ever heard a Puerto Rican speak English ? Lol
It’s a huge strain on resources in education .

@AthrillatheHunt It really is not a strain on resources. Defunding public education is a strain on resources.
It is also about political will.
The Swiss managed 3 official languages with 800 to 900 billion in GDP.
The US can afford it. They just choose not to.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I lived in Switzerland. They do lots of things right . Including mandating their immigrants learn to be “Swiss”.

@AthrillatheHunt We get it. Right wingers are afraid of anything they don't understand.
And Switzerland was founded from 3 distinct cultures so there never has been a singular culture.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Switzerland is 60% German , 30% French, and 10% other . There is def a Swiss identity . They are extremely logical and pragmatic. Not as altruistic as northern euros . (Founded by ex knights Templar ).

@AthrillatheHunt The Templar are a fascination in history. Also banking founders.

@AthrillatheHunt That is not a culture that is a Germanic cliche from TV.
There is no single Swiss culture.
