Then why are 75% of the doctors and nurses you see now were born in countries like the Philippines, Mexico, etc.
BS. I ain't buying it.

Mr. Obama, your Obamacare is like a cash cow .
Since I am in the medical field this one is easy. There aren't any doctors even here in California who are Mexican or Filipino. I can look down the entire list of doctors working in Northern California Kaiser, where white male caucasians are rare, and you see Indian, Chinese, Iranian and Ukranian. Second, very few of them were educated outside the United States as I pay attention to that very closely. That means they went to school in the U.S. their entire life or at least college and then medical school. I have had at least a half dozen patients who have gone on to medicine with one white, two Chinese, three Indian and all born here.
Granted there are some who did their studies abroad in their home country before taking the very tough licensing exams here. Being very tough means no one from the Philippines can pass them. I have seen their schools first hand and their doctors are only qualified to be nurses over here. I'm sure Mexico is not any different except for the elites and being elites means most of them don't have to work anyway.
Now when it comes to nurses I'm sure they didn't sneak across the border. The requirements for nurses aren't all that easy and neither are the licensing tests. Are there lots of Filipino nurses in California? Yes, but most are not at the RN level. More likely the CNA level if from out of the country. My wife is a CNA who did her training here luckily. One thing about Filipina nurses is their compassionate nature when compared to many caucasian nurses. Their entire culture is like that along with respect shown the elderly so they actually make wonderful nurses. Right now my wife is watching an 88 year old father of one of my female patients as I write this.
So to sum up:
1. No doctor or nurse here is an illegal not with the tests, personal information and background checks.
2. Since my wife is a legal immigrant for whom I filed all the paperwork and paid the fees I am dead set against illegal immigration. Get in line and do the paperwork like my wife did.
3. I am also realistic enough to know one can't round up 11 million already here. The only agency that could do that was disbanded 70 years ago and they were called the Gestapo. So we might as well figure out some way to integrate all those here especially those with U.S. children. Deport those who have any kind of criminal record and from this day forward, say Dec. 1st, anybody coming across illegally is to be immediately deported as the window is now closed for good.
