The Mendez sisters are among the growing number of Minnesota students whose first language is not English. Nearly 65,000 English learner students are enrolled in Minnesota schools, representing more than 200 languages.

That number has grown rapidly in the past two decades, soaring by 50,000, a 300 percent increase in English learners.

Minnesota stands alone in its region, with a population of English learners exceeding all of its neighboring states. The reason, experts say, is that Minnesota has long been an attractive environment for immigrants.

"Minnesota has a strong history of nonprofits doing refugee resettlement work, which has brought groups such as the Hmong, Somali and more recently, the Karen to our state," said Andi Egbert, a research analyst at the Minnesota State Demographic Center.

The explosion in English learners has not been limited to the Twin Cities. In the past 10 years, first-ring suburbs such as Brooklyn Center and Brooklyn Park have had significant increases in immigration, with a more than 10 percent rise in the number of foreign-born citizens living beyond the Twin Cities' urban centers. Outlying cities like Rochester and St. Cloud have also seen a boom in immigrant and refugee populations.

Since the Vietnam War, Minnesota has had a consistent influx of different immigrant groups. English as a second language programs began in the schools in the mid-1970s, and have grown ever since, with new immigrant and refugee populations like Hmong and North African groups entering the state.

Statewide, St. Paul has more English learners than any other school district. More than 13,000 "limited English proficient" (or LEP) students were enrolled in St. Paul public schools this school year, according to the Minnesota Department of Education. They represent more than 131 languages.

Minneapolis is second, with almost 8,000 LEP students. Limited English proficient students are those who are identified by school districts as needing English learner services. While some families choose not to enroll their children in English learner programs, the vast majority do.

The most common foreign languages spoken today in Minnesota schools are Spanish, Hmong, Somali, Vietnamese and Karen. Others include Arabic, Oromo, Taiwanese, Swahili, German and French.

It's sad to watch our once great country being invaded from within and betrayed by our 'leaders'. It's a book that is still being written and it's not going to end well my friends
