US Immigration - Helping new US Citizens learn English
It is kind of interesting that the USCIS spends a lot of time and money trying to keep people out of the USA and then when they get there they turn around and do things like this. Basically they decided to spend money to help new US citizens learn to speak English.
We think this is a good program as helping these new US citizens intergrate will make them better wage earners and the pay back will be when they pay their US taxes and hopefully raise families that will be fully functioning US citizens as well.
