85% of immigrants in the United States do not speak English at home, and 60% of bilingual Chinese immigrants do not speak English well. According to data released by the U.S. Census Bureau on Tuesday, only a small number of immigrants in the United States speak good English, and 13% never speak English. The English proficiency of immigrants who have been in the United States for more than 30 years is much better: 63% can speak English relatively fluently, and only 6% do not speak English at all. Demographer Christine Gambino said: "In general, people who have immigrated to the United States for a long time will speak English better than those who have immigrated to the United States for a shorter time, and people who are more educated will speak English better than those who are less educated." The report also found that compared with the 1980s, immigrant families today speak less English at home. In 1980, 70% of immigrant families spoke a language other than English at home; now that number has risen to 85%. The survey shows that 40.6 million immigrants are over the age of 5. Mexicans are the ethnic group with the largest immigrant population in the United States, accounting for more than a quarter of the total immigrant population. The survey showed that 29% of Mexican Americans did not speak English well, and 18% said they did not speak English at all. Among Chinese immigrants, only 9% speak English at home, 30% speak English very well, 21% speak poor English, and 11% do not speak English. However, only 30.4% of Chinese immigrants who speak both English and their mother tongue at home speak good English, and another 61% speak poor English or cannot speak English at all.
