> Is it migrants that refuse to learn the local language, or locals who refuse to learn the migrants' languages?
Why would locals have to learn the migrants' languages, unless they wanted to deal with them or there was money in it?
When people move to a country, they can either assimilate into the country or try to take over the country.
Since that's how most of the new world was settled, if you live here and want things to stay sort of the way they are, you want immigrants to assimilate and learn your language.
If they don't want to learn your language, immigrants should go places where the language they speak is used.
