How does the US handle its large
number of illegal (hispanic) immigrants?
This is a big political issue, mainly between employers an working people
who think that illegal immigrants take their jobs. I do not follow it,
I am sure there is some pressure to do what the NL did and force people to
show an ID (not the national ID card since there is none) to see a doctor,
so as to deny medical care to illegal immigrants,
There is an "English-only" movement in the US which succeeded in
abolishing bilingual education in California. Supposedly this is to
force all the immigrants (legal or not) to learn English, but I think
its main effect is likely to be that hispanics get worse education.
