No, it's not a 'crock of shit'. What would be is if you had to push TWO to proceed in English.
It's a completely misguided statement. In 1903 they would have headed to a neighbourhood that was populated largely by people from their own country so they could communicate while they learned the language. That is how they would have obtained basic necesities until they learned English. Little Johnny didn't have to use a phone and probably had hardly ever seen one.
Today, if you can't use a phone system you can't obtain basic needs so what this is implying is that his grandfather got to learn English AFTER he came to America but now people have to learn it before. That's a crock of shit.
