Ya, a fair point. It is an undue burden on the schools. Now they have to function as school, (in many cases) parent, and language/culture teacher also.

I just think if we are going to have large scale immigration this is worth funding somehow as I believe in the value of assimilation.

I agree entirely. Assimilation is key to successful large scale immigration. I've always wondered why folks want to move to America to have a "better life", but then fail to learn English. If we're going to have immigrants, we need to be prepared to set them up for success.
