The city of Canton Michigan has one of the highest population of India people in the U.S. Many of them work for the U.S. auto industry. In the offices there appears to be more foreign people than U.S. most of them appear to be India. I has been this way for many years. If you do not like it do not buy their product.

The U.S. “left’s” obfuscation of the “elephant” in the room and weakness of commitment to principles are primary reasons why IMO the U.S. “left” may not be a part of any global solidarity. As progressive challenges occur outside the parameters of the U.S. it may take a long time before U.S. catches up to the rest of the world due to these divisions within the U.S. left.
