Here in Alpharetta, GA, area...
Employees at retail are dominated by Indians (dot), and they are barely comprehensible. In some cases, COMPLETELY devoid of English.
Restaurants are dominated by Spanish speakers.
Go to any gas station in the morning, and you will think you are in Chihuahua.
I challenge you to go to your school review site of choice and look at demographics and ESL numbers around the district and tell me what you think.
You'll be shocked at quickly the numbers are changing.
It's fricking insane.

Yep. And northeast ATL has orchards that employ thousands of immigrants.

Alpharetta isn't the largest suburb. I live in the area, not in Alpharetta, hence "Alpharetta Area"
You didn't read the part about how quickly it is changing, I guess.
We moved here in 2008, and it was lily white. By 2013, we had to use open enrollment to find a school where ESL and transience weren't the name of the day. The kindergarten class had 11 different dialects... not sure how you learn in that environment, and school results prove that out. By 2020, schools that were 80% white were 30-40% white.
That is a rapid change, and there is no integration, everyone just congregates into enclaves with people like themselves, so there is no effort to learn the language by adults.
