Bilingual Education does benefit English Language Learners
"Studies that compare bilingual instruction with English-only instruction demonstrate that language-minority students instructed in their native language as well as in English perform better, on average, on measures of English reading proficiency than language-minority students instructed in only English. This is the case at both the elementary and secondary levels"
