The new 3rd World NOVA
Posted by: PureAmerican ()
Date: January 08, 2016 06:23PM

Just read in the local newspapers here that since 2001 the local Indian American (meaning India and Pakistan) growth in Loudoun County is 750%.
According to that same census, the overall Asian population in Fairfax County has climbed more than 50% since 2000.
This accounts for more than 1/5th of the county residents.

Your thoughts?

It's likely most are filling tech jobs. If they are filling jobs with specific skillsets that NoVa residents aren't filling or other American's don't want to move to this region for, I have no problem with it. I'm in the industry & if the industry is growing & I'm making more money because of it, let them keep coming.

The Indians and Asians have to be imported because none of your snot nosed kids studied programming. To many Liberal Arts Majors. Pakkis make excellent kabobs and the 7-11s won't run themselves, I know no other use for Pakkis.

You should leave as quickly as you can. Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

Wrong. Importing labor allows companies to push the Over 50s out the door and replace them with immigrants willing to work for less than $100k a year.

You can argue whether that's fair or not in our capitalist system, but it's reality.

Correct. That was 20 years ago.

Now they're pushing out the too expensive 30 year olds and new CS degrees with average skills (aka Mason grads).

In this area, Saturday night at Costco's or Walmarts for the Indian shoppers is equivilant to a trip to Vegas for them. It's a celebrated family event and free appetizers and food sampling.

If I was working there your food would have dog crap in it, a taste you have surely acquired.

No wonder Loudounians are pissed. They lost their land and their way of life before they even knew they were at war. So comes our demise. Good-bye America. You will be missed.

Many Mason grads with IT majors have perfectly good jobs. If you are one and don't, you may want to look at factors other than your school and your major.

I'm a Mason grad. I always ask customers if they want fries with that.
