 * "The percent of individuals in the United States whose first language is something other than English has risen dramatically in recent decades. According to Census Bureau estimates, the number was 31.8 million in 1990 and 47 million in the year 2000, which is equivalent to approximately one out of every five people, or 18% of the population" -paraphrase this and include in "Not Enough Resources" section (replace with "Also, in the United States, there are more than 3.7 million public-school students whose English proficiency is limited.")
 * The Census Bureau claims there was about 31.8 million individuals whose primary language was not English in 1990. In the year 2000, it rose to 47 million, which is 18% of the population. "Also, in the United States, there are more than 3.7 million public-school students whose English proficiency is limited[, and similar to the Census Bureau, the number will rise.]"
 * "showed that about 11.7% of ELLs nationwide receive no specialized language services in school." - include this statistic in the "controversy" section
 * Along with the cost of these resources, another criticism of these English immersion resources is that they do not support most of these ELL students. Some of these ELL students do not even receive specialized language services in their schools, specifically 11.7% of ELL students.
 * "When it comes to educational choices, immigrant students often make more ambitious choices than nonimmigrant students with similar academic achievements, which shows that secondary effects of immigrant status on education are mostly positive." include in first paragraph
 * Due to the fact that more ambitious choices are made by immigrant students than nonimmigrant students regarding academic choices, secondary effects, such as these English immersion programs, create positive outcomes.
