Thank God most of these are off shore. The "Chingrish" and other examples of poor English are always the giveaway (we all remember the old Nigerian scams, just how funny some of them were). They are going to get better at that as well, though.

I've had many discussions with bi-lingual friends and family regarding "fluency". My own mother, born German and living here for over 60 years, still spoke "Germish". Either sentence structure, grammar, word choice, or whatever. You could always tell she "wasn't from around here", even if just reading her written word. It's a delineating factor that we just can't shake, no matter how good we are.
