We are so stupid in this country, being fixated on migrant workers, using them as scapegoats, these migrant workers support the economy from the ground-up, indians get to positions of some power and abuse it,I know this is true of other races but I think Indians over-do-it, I guess they'l keep laughing for a long time.
Indians are smart. You don't see them resisting the learning of English. They'll even brag that their country is now the biggest English speaking country in the world.

They have found the value of having a common language and that language being English while the USA has lost it's common sense. They'll likely surpass the USA soon --- and deserve to. Many of the jobs they are taking is from their ability and desire to learn English and I know of several businesses using India for transcription work, not because they're cheaper but because they can actually understand and correctly spell in English.

It's not their fault that they're becoming a major player while the USA is deliberately trying to join the third world.

It bothers me to the gillionth degree.

Why?

If you don't speak the language (ENGLISH) then HOW can you drive a car?

You are putting my life and the life of those that I care about in peril or danger.

Not speaking ENGLISH places all of us at risk of exposure to loss, harm, death, or injury. I don't want to go there......

Sorry about your "gillonth" problems, there may be some kind of drug you can take.

I view the "freeway" from my office window here, and see about a gillonth cars a day drive by, most driven by Mexicans, and quite successfully, I might add . . . .

The car is a bad example,

I don't even think you need to speak English to drive a car.
