EY: *Ten percent* of the Spanish-speaking population of the USA do
not speak English at all, according to the Census stats. -EY
Judy: I don't know what to say about this. I suppose I'd want to
know how many of them were a) recent immigrants b) very young c)
older, weren't educated in the US.
EY: The Census stats don't provide that information. I know they
don't count illegal immigrants, but only those legal residents who
respond to the Census. Therefore one should state:
*Ten percent* of the LEGALLY RESIDENT Spanish-speaking population of
the USA do not speak English at all. The other millions aren't assessed.
"Parasitic" is the wrong word, written in haste. You are right to
correct me on this, but we should come up with an alternative word.

of society but only take goods and services from it? (Yeah, I know,
"babies.") Would "nonproductive" suffice?
