I've worked with several people who were here legally, but didn't speak much if any English... only their kids did. It's not so cut and dry.
So very true. I work with a lady who's parents (legal immigrants) speak no English and her husband (legal immigrant too) speaks very little English.
Also....go into any Asian community and there is a good chance the parents and other elders speak no English.
A person's immigration status can't be defined by the ability or inability to speak English.
