Think again! Indian nurses and teachers are being recruited in India at an alarming rate. American's just don't want to get into the nursing and teaching professions. They all want to be wall street brokers, etc. All want easy money without having to learn biologoy, chemestry and calculus. That will be our downfall! The fact that the average highschool graduate does not know elementry statistics is a heads-up to everyone concerned. At some point, we decided that an MBA was the ideal, while a poor sob who studies Math, physics or Chemestry is a geek to be laughed at.

I have to disagree about nursing schools. Each year the schools reject potential nurses and this has been going on for at least 20 to 30 years. Hospitals used to have schools for nurses. Not any more. If I remember correctly, they quit doing that when the first wave of Phillipino nurses came.

We don't have enough nursing schools and it is hard to get in them as they only take so many students per year.

Our medical schools have been regulated by our government for years.

Also the Phillipinos come on regular visas not the HB1 or work visa. They don't have to stay at a hospital like they used to. And they get their American license via the internet in the Phillipines.

They are also another group that brings their aged parents for US freebies.

This process if not reversed, might lead to the Argentinization of America. Maybe Perot and Buchanan were right.
