      The US needs immigrants don’t worry about it. We have a birth rate of 1.5 children per women. That would result in a declining population if we didn’t have immigration.

    I would think, his primary concern, would be learning English. It's a mistake to learn from someone, like family, who's first language isn't English. You get second generation errors, in pronunciation...which makes harder for others, to understand you. Instead, take classes from an English speaker.
