King of Prussia?

Nearly all the apartments are leased by the tens of thousands of H1B Indians. It’s like Calcutta. And as soon as they get here, the first thing the wives do is give birth to anchor babies. They totally take advantage of immigration laws.

We are the biggest suckers in the entire world.

Our experience has been the opposite. My bet is the proximity to the city accounts for a lot. FWIW. :-)

I work outside of KOP. I’m closer to Downingtown which is full of the same type.

I read Vanguard(Malvern) is firing 1800 employees to move IT to India.

If we don’t do away with H1Bs, maybe we should limit access to the program to rural areas of the US. It would encourage biz to relocate there, and people to assimilate since anonymity is hard to come by. :-)

You might be correct, but I’ll never know...

We’ve been to your neck of the woods. KoP Mall and Valley Forge are the only reasons we go. It’s way too built up for my comfort. High population densities give me the willies.

Retire to the sticks. It’s greener. :-)

“Death at a Funeral”

I think the original British film is funnier. The midget (dwarf?) is the same in both. The guy who gets drugged up is great!

Lol.

I am going to watch the British one also.

But Tracy Morgan and Chris Rock are funny guys.

I thought the little guy was going to be a gangster the deceased was indebted to. I never saw that coming :-)

Nope. Not listening to filthy Indian Bollywood ‘musicals’. Stuff was annoying as hell when I was stuck in Dubai.

18,000, not 1800 as seen in news reports. Sold all IT, customer service, front and back office administration to InfoSys, an extremely racist Indian company.

I used to eat at the Wegmans right next to their facility.
I’m getting pretty damned tired of outsourcing and H1-B’s.

If people don’t have good jobs, they will vote for free money. Why work hard if the money for free is nearly equal?

In the early days of Hollywood they would make movies with the cast all being “ people of color”. These were made for theaters in the south that were for “colored people” only.
“Green Pastures” was certainly an exception; an exceptionally good picture made in 1936 that opened in New York.

I’m outside of Philly as well, Glen Mills area. Where are you talking about the large Indian population? I know Delaware has quite a few because of the banks and pharma companies, but was not aware of any concentration in the Philly area.

Cabin in the sky is also a very good movie that just happens to have a all black cast.

People of color. So, they have white, yellow, brown and red cast members?

I’m surprised we wasted the board space...

I’m just north of you in West Chester.

I’m referring to KOP and Downingtown/Exton area.
