A visit to the Circuit City in Frisco, TX almost guarantees you will meet someone from the Eastern bloc. I asked one of these salespeople why he was there and was told he was here on work visa along with a bunch of other people in the store.
Apparently, Circuit City has told the U.S. government that they have no qualified applicants for this suburb of Dallas/Ft. Worth. And so they get Visas.
The guy had no clue about the computers yet, but he could find me a manager.
