I gathered that Sym I know my french is bad but not that bad!

Moi aussi mon Francaise est tresssss mal haha
I took French classes at school, but I always disliked it.

The only Latin based language I'm interested in is Spanish, as its easy and useful.
The only Asian based language I'm interested in is Japanese, I just love it!

@ burshra. Not to worry hon. The only one he manages to make look foolish is himself. He is definitely an exception and does not represent locals.

@ Kid, clearly I have hit a few nerves with you.

The examples you site: Mexican, Chinese, etc. you refer to them Americans. And as long as they are in the country legally and documented, they are as much as an American as I am regardless of their ethnicity - they are not expats. You spent what - a couple of years as a student in the US and you know all about America? You tell people who have been in the UAE for years that they don't know anything about the UAE, yet you spend a couple of years in America and you know all about America!!!! You know as much about America as you do the reality of the UAE (and expats!).

Discussion closed.

Oohhh bora bora I’m still standing to my ground !!! I turned to know more about more about America than the American after all , like I said , your government is allowing it I’m guessing the reason it is your capability ? or do you have a perfectly good explanation for it

“Foreign Workers Competing for American Jobs:

What isn't being talked about on the news or by politicians is that while millions of native-born American workers are struggling to find employment, there are some 125,000 foreign workers being legally welcomed each and every month into the United States to fill jobs Americans supposedly are unable or unwilling to fill.

Many organizations are actually requesting more. Roy Beck, founder of NumbersUSA.com, explains in the video below that over the last 12-month period there were 951,247 green cards issued. Green cards give immigrants work permits that remain good throughout their lifetime. These green card holders can stay in the United States and work throughout their entire life if they choose. In addition to the green cards issued during that same time period, another 947,340 foreign workers were granted temporary work permits. These temporary permits do expire, but the holders of those permits can later apply for a permanent green card.

Combining these two numbers tells us that 1.9 million work permits were granted to immigrants during the past year. Broken down, that equals 160,000 work permits issued per month. To appease immigrant activists who object that the 1.9 million number may include some immigrants that may already have been in the U.S. with temporary permits, let's go ahead and remove those workers from that number. That still leaves some 125,000 work permits being issued each and every month.

Let's look at what's going on at one more angle: According to NumbersUSA.com, 7.3 million jobs were eliminated from the American payroll since the start of 2008, while 2.7 million new foreign workers were granted permanent work permits and temporary work visas by the federal government during that same period. These foreign workers supposedly are needed to perform jobs that Americans cannot or will not do, though it's uncertain who determines what those jobs are. Ask any unemployed American worker at random that question, and you'll likely get a much different answer. Wouldn't it then be fair to say that representing that assumption on their behalf might then be considered an affront to either their work ethic or the intelligence of unemployed American workers — or both?

You are wrong and you turned to know nothing about your country…. So could you give us your professional opinion about the highlighted parts (they do ring a bill, right? ), clearly there is a perfectly good explanation to it, lets hear it or are you sticking to the discussion being closed..

I never said the US doesn't hire expats, just not as many as you claim, which was, I believe "in the millions". Nor is the US reliant on expats, whereas Dubai is. You can't compare the population of over 307 million in the US to the 1 million you quote. There is a movement in America, by Americans, to stop foreign recruitment. As for companies going outside to recruit, it's a matter of cheap labor, pretty much what Dubai did and continues to do for laborers, servants, sales people - you know, those low level jobs that even Emiratis won't take. BUT, Dubai does pay a pretty dollar to the higher level that they recruit because............either they can't find qualified locals or locals aren't willing to do the job. Oooops.

You still know squat about the US. The only areas you excel at is denial and delusion.
