Well, Bush is allowing a flood of illegals in to do the work at the bottom of the labor chain, driving down wages for the unskilled Americans, I see no reason to favor any group.

Absolutely, until everyone gets hit with unfair wage competition nothing will change..lets get more lawyers and doctors in here and accountants and see them scream when their wages drop 50% due to competition...not just a flood of unskilled workers...this country and Presidente Bush are a disgrace..

This is from 2003...Note American doctors admit the need but do not approve of the plan. Yet these same doctors hire those same people as gardners, maids etc because they can pay them peanuts.

"In what looks to be a first in the United States, California is allowing 30 physicians and 30 dentists from Mexico to bypass its medical licensure system and practice in the state. The Mexican doctors will work under a three-year, nonrenewable license at designated nonprofit clinics as soon as July 1, if money can be secured for the program. The pilot is being touted as a short-term measure to address the need of the state's 950,000 Mexican agricultural workers, few of whom have access to any physician, let alone one who speaks Spanish. The California Medical Assn., while acknowledging this need, said bringing in Mexican doctors to treat Mexican citizens in the United States undermines California's licensing system. "We should have a level playing field, with one criterion for licensing professionals, so that California residents know that their doctor is qualified," said Anmol S. Mahal, MD, vice chair of the CMA board of trustees and a leader of the organization's opposition to the bill."
