WASHINGTON, Nov. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Rising immigration in Utah - caused by both the failure of the federal government to control the borders, and by the state’s ambiguous policies toward illegal immigration - has produced a costly tab for public education. According to a new report issued by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), English Language Learners and Public Education in Utah, Utah is now spending $436 million annually to educate 53,219 Limited English Proficiency (LEP) students, which represents more than 9 percent of the total population enrolled in the state’s public schools.

More people in the workforce are claiming discrimination over their English-speaking ability or foreign accents, leading the federal government to issue guidelines to employers on when they can enforce English-only rules, federal officials said Thursday. Workplace discrimination complaints based on national origin — which often involve language ability — rose by 76 percent from 1997 to 2011, when more than 11,800 complaints were lodged with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
