The Mexican "professionals" are here. In California (of course) we just got a new law! Ready for this one? Mexican doctors can now practice in "rural" areas of California without taking the boards. They simply walk in and set up shop. They get to refer patients to hospitals, which means they can get work in those hospitals as well.

Don't be shocked when Texas gets the same crap. Someday, you'll need a translator to talk your doc, when the hospitals get to staff with "cheap labor" foreign MD's.

I understand in 2005 per NAFTA they will be able to do this.

Tell me what you think the reasoning for this really is? I realize a lot of it is cheap labor for the campaign contributors - but what is the reasoning behind putting American professionals out of business. Why aren't the doctors howling - or my goodness, what about the lawyers. Don't they know they won't be on the gravy train much longer? Is it really that the politicians want to destroy nationalism? Does PRes. Bush really want a western hemisphere type union? Do they want a society of haves and have not and nothing in the middle? Why are American middle class people cutting their own throats, and more importantly, that of their children by supporting this lunacy?

I can't get a handle on some of this.

This is sick.. Who "passed" the law? Did the Calif. State Boards of Medical Examiners do this? Or is it a NAFTA thing? IF NAFTA, how can they interfere with State run board that is in place for "the protection of the public?" If it's because it's Fed, then that alone should be a crime.

Could I scream discrimination if I (being white) went to UCLA Medical school, graduated, wanted to practice in a "rural" community, but didn't take my boards?

This crap has gone way far enough. We've lost Kalifornia to the illegals, and the socialist-damocrats fueled the loss over the last 20-30+ years. The rest of the southwest is next. This is blatant invasion, what's it going to take before we take back our country? Political "diplomacy" and playing "nice nice" just doesn't seem to cut it anymore.
