So can we make it mandatory for them to give their kids educational toys?
Look, we've got mandatory education for kids from 1st grade or Kindergarten (?) If we want mandatory education earlier, well lets mandate that and fund it.
I doubt that ESL (engiish as a second language) is as big a drain on resources for kids coming to Kindergarten with no English, as it is for new immigrant kids coming in at later ages with no English.
OTOH, intense English education for new immigrants would be a good idea. But hardly needs to be mandatory - build it, they will come.
