(8,994 posts)Locals have to learn ENGLISH to support (relatively, to their standards) rich American ex-pats?
I just threw up in my mouth a little.
If I go to work and live in Mexico I expect to learn Spanish and assimilate. No wonder people hate us abroad so much. We have so little respect for them that we have them catering to us on their land. That's just... well... sheesh.
I'll reiterate... we have 10 million unemployed here. Our immigration rates VASTLY outpace our emigration rates. But when I say it's a shame that Canada makes immigrants show $11,000 in assets, have a good job and they won't take people with certain (read: a wide variety of) medical histories, I would not consider it a shame that you should learn French if you move to Quebec. You move to Rome, you learn to do like the Romans do.
I find it funny that you accuse me of xenophobia when I hate Americans shoving their way around the world almost as much as I hate offshoring. Go to another country, accept their culture. Period.
