Nearly half of students don't speak English at Georgia elementary school

Language learning is much easier for children than for adults, but the ability to learn a second language varies very greatly among individuals of all ages. It also depends on the similarities between the first language and the target language (what linguists call the language being learned).

National voter ID's (what is called a cédula in Hispanic countries) have been ruled the province of the states by the Supreme Court, and are there a federal ID is unconstitutional.

Everything not specifically addressed by the Constitution is delegated to the respective states.

It would be a good idea, but it is simply illegal.

If it is left for the states to take care of it , why should they not?

That seems to be what "secure ID " is about. States were requested (but I do not think required) to  follow certain standards to make drivers licenses and state ID's less easy to duplicate. I know that Florida did this, bit I do not know whether all states have done this.

During the Carter years, there was an attempt to use Social Security numbers as a type of personal ID, but a lot of people got their shorts in a twist over it, so the government promised that it would no longer use SSN's as ID's, however the federal government and many credit card companies do exactly that.

The fact is that learning a language is very difficult for some people and quite easy for others, sort of like music and drawing.
