Rubén Hinojosa: “I am concerned that this Republican bill walks away from English…”

On the recordJuly 18, 2013

I am concerned that this Republican bill walks away from English language learners by removing measurable performance targets for content mastery and second language acquisition. Furthermore, it is failing to require native language assessments for English language learners. In a globally competitive world, all students must be equipped with the skills they need to succeed in school and life. I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to join me in opposition to H.R. 5.

This H.R. 692 is nothing but default by another name. Moreover, adding insult to injury, H.R. 692 mandates that we pay foreigners instead of American servicemembers and veterans.
