That includes extra paper, extra storage space, an office for creating translations, translations for textbooks. How much money is spent on pay bonuses to bilingual employees, including office workers? Notice how there are no cutbacks being suggested for these extra services, primarily for Spanish speakers but other languages also. Notice which population groups are receiving the most of these services and why. Think of all the money "English only" could save, and jobs that would be available to more U.S. born applicants.
