For some time, I have been arguing that the United States does not need to import poor laborers.

We need educated individuals who will not be a drain on taxpayer services.

Physician Shortage Looms, Risking a Crisis, as Demand for Care Explodes

A looming doctor shortage threatens to create a national healthcare crisis by further limiting access to physicians, jeopardizing quality and accelerating cost increases.

Twelve states — including California, Texas and Florida — report some physician shortages now or expect them within a few years. Across the country, patients are experiencing or soon will face shortages in at least a dozen physician specialties, including cardiology and radiology and several pediatric and surgical subspecialties.

The shortages are putting pressure on medical schools to boost enrollment, and on lawmakers to lift a cap on funding for physician training and to ease limits on immigration of foreign physicians, who already constitute 25% of the white-coated workforce.

UPDATE From the threads;

“To Mexico: Send us your doctors and nurses. We have enough leafblowers.”
