A foreign medical graduate killed five and infected 99 with Hep C in Fremont, Nebraska. He reused syringes. The Nebraska excess medical liability fund was cleaned out and paid $12 million.

Fremont is 50 miles from Omaha. Nebraska would have been better off without that particular foreign doctor.

They’re just so blatant about it….
Well, if the AMA didn’t keep the number of medical schools low, so there wouldn’t be a shortage of doctors, but then the existing doctors wouldn’t be able to charge such high prices….

NPR just keeps feeding the narrative. And we taxpayers are funding most of it.

Amen on the AMA – I have a friend, US citizen, who had to go to another country to get his MD because all the schools were full.

Best campaign promise Romney made was to put Big Bird and his friends out for adoption.

I dont understand why people would be upset for cracking down on illegals in this country..all they have to do is go through the process and they can be here legally if they dont have a criminal record..Most of the ones protesting is the illegals or their families..Yes we are a country of immigrants “Legal Immigrants”.

They’re just so blatant about it.

Listening to NPR’s Morning Edition this morning, a story about a program to bring doctors from foreign countries to the US because we don’t have enough doctors, especially (of course) the poor folks. The foreign doctors get a special J1 visa to come over here and practice. So NPR talks to the President of the AMA, and he’s worried that Trump’s executive order will prevent the doctors coming over, so “parts of the country that desperately need medical care may not have a doctor.”

Well, if the AMA didn’t keep the number of medical schools low, so there woudn’t be a shortage of doctors, but then the existing doctors wouldn’t be able to charge such high prices.

Anyway, NPR then talks to one of the foreign doctors, and of course he says he’s worried about the travel ban. But it turns out, he’s from Pakistan! And Pakistan is not on the list.

NPR just keeps feeding the narrative. And we taxpayers are funding most of it.

This is one of those stories where the media writes something in their usual scary way and expect the readers to agree but in reality most people reading the story (including a lot of non Trump supporters) have a hard time feeling the outrage.

I know several people who complain like hell about Trump but up until about 18 months ago these same people would complain about illegals and crime and all that. I grew up in a county on the Washington coast that went Republican with Trump in 2016 after voting for every Democrat presidential candidate since Hoover in 1928. It even was worthy of the Los Angeles Times writing a story on Grays Harbor County after the election. A lot of these people voted the way they did strictly because of immigration so the media can continue to write their scare stories and most people will be saying ‘right on’ as they read them.

Is it any wonder why so many distrust the media?

And expect way more protests. Big protests. And litigation. Lots of litigation.

Heard an MSNBC report where the woman referred to deportation as “kidnapping” and “disappeared.”

I submit that the word “immigrant” means a person who has emigrated from some other country and entered this country lawfully, whereas a person who has not done that is an “illegal alien.” Anyone who has come here from another country has documents. Ergo, there is no such thing as an “undocumented immigrant.”

Orwell warned about the political uses of language.
