On Tuesday the Department of Homeland Security announced 25 new measures to  
address “border security” and “immigration challenges.”  I would actually  
characterize many, if not most, of them as anti-immigrant.
 
There is one, however, that teachers of English Language Learners, and their  
students, might find helpful.  It is, not surprisingly, the  last one on the 
list. 
The announcement stated that the “Department of Education will launch a free, 
 web-based portal to help immigrants learn English…” 
The announcement gives absolutely no other details about when it will begin,  
what might be included, or who in the Department of Education is actually 
doing  it. 
Does anyone know more?
