Well now, looks a we have some new . . . Immigrants!

Three, thirty-something women have suddenly appeared exercising routinely at my Health Club (gym) and as usual with most newcomer groups they tend to cluster and speak only amongst themselves. This is especially true if they are wearing work-out togs that are not common in the area and speak with each other in a foreign language. Its quite obvious they are either foreign tourists or newly arrived immigrants to the US.

However, this AM a long time member of the club happened to overhear them speaking what sounded like Russian and demonstrated her limited skills in their language.

Their conversation suddenly reverted to English when I was able to overhear an explanation of someone among the group having coming here to Teach at a Community College in the area.

I can see where they are needed and why we would ask them to Migrate to the US, as neither myself or my wife can Teach Russian students in their Native Russian language.

Hey, those are jobs we American just can't or won't do, right? But then, we might be able to Teach them English . . . in English.

Looks as our tax dollars going to education are being well spent.
