Yes.. Kings.. Dictators.. whatever Trump aspires to..   B)

True.. we seem to always need more healthcare workers due to the
high use of medical when it usually doesn't cost anything. A lot
of people take advantage for things where it's not really necessary
and so the system is almost always crowded. I'm generally pretty
healthy and I go for years without seeing a doctor, and when I do it's
usually due to an injury.. But when I am forced to see my doctor she
always goes nuts and does a full physical and runs every blood test
known to man just to make sure I'm as healthy as I appear to be..   B)

I think in most cases the gov't isn't looking for Only people
with specific skills. If they look to be employable and will
pay their own way I think most people would get in, at least
temporarily, and after that other factors would probably influence
whether they can stay permanently or not. What they try to avoid
is too many unskilled people wanting to move here, although a lot
of them still seem to get in.. 'Refugees' are another story but
there is talk of lowering the numbers of those allowed in too.
