Ahem... there is NO such language as Mexican - it's Spanish with a Mexican accent/dialect!  I speak fluent Spanish (with a Venezuelan accent/dialect) and have a hard time understanding the Mexican dialect (especially the northern Mexican one, which is the equivalent of our Southern accent, really thick.)

To be fair, they get these perks because our educational system is fairly well-grounded in reality. How often do they get students that speak russian, french, etc.? Many Americans are bilingual with Spanish, so these folks can be accomodated. In the school district that I'm in here in Oklahoma, they have ESL classes for all non-english speakers before they get to go to regular school.
If a Mexican immigrant wants to receive an education and become a productive, tax paying citizen, I'm all for it. When about 80-90% of your immigrants come for one place you just have to treat the situation differently.
Now as far as accomodations for ILLEGAL immigrants. Hell, as soon as anyone find you're illegal, you're on the bus back home in my opinion. Allowing these kids to use our schools or any other public service is a damned crime against society.
