Interested op-ed from the New York Times. Dowell Myers argues that undocumented migration to the U.S is at all-time lows, the average Mexican birth rate is plunging, and that undocumented immigration is likely to remain a trickle in coming years. He makes a cogent argument that enforcement funds should be diverted to education. Less well-defined is what he means by assimilation in this piece.

I am a professor in the Lynch School of Education and Human Development at Boston College, and director of the Curriculum & Instruction doctoral program. I have served as an associate editor at Child Development, Applied Psycholinguistics, and an editor at Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools. I was a bilingual teacher in Detroit, MI and have worked in district, state, and nonprofit settings. I work with bilingual learners from multilingual homes in K-8 settings, thinking about language use and development, cross-linguistic relations, instructional interventions, and teacher practice. I've published a bunch of articles and book chapters, and have developed language and reading curricula. I always work in close collaboration with teachers to facilitate the translation of research to practice.
