"According to a survey, from AI 72% claim to be US Born. But born to illegals.***
The majority of English language learners (ELLs) in U.S. public schools are American citizens. Estimates from the Census Bureau’s 2016 American Community Survey indicate that among public school students aged 5 to 17 who report speaking English “less than very well,” 72% were born in the United States, compared to 28% who were foreign-born.
This finding is consistent across multiple sources, which confirm that most ELLs are U.S.-born citizens, even though some are immigrants or children of immigrants.
The U.S. Department of Education also notes that the majority of English learner students are U.S. citizens, representing 11% of total K–12 school enrollment."
