Shortly after the 2016 election I took part in a USCIS training for people teaching citizenship classes. Chatting with another teacher, I described working with my L1 Spanish adult learners, and she interrupted me to ask, "Are they legal??" I've never forgotten that. Bias & ignorance are EVERYWHERE.
