Anyway, whether you like it. Foreign nurses will still arrive and fill up vacancies except that the waiting period is longer.

This is totally ridiculous as the people who blew up the WTC didn't come from these countries. You appear to be sterotyping other people.

What this policy is - its about racism and the Republican party.

Then please don't send your recruiters to the UK to poach our nurses! Pay your nurses more to encourage your country's youth to become nurses.

We in the UK are happy to have foreign nurses apply.

Perhaps the UK would do well to follow your advice. Pay your nurses more....and they won't be poached by the USA. Encourage your country's youth to become nurses and you won't have to have foreign nurses apply.

Well the salary in the UK is better than that for nurses in US. The dollar is cheap change in our pockets. There is less crime here and a lot less gun shootings.

Our health service is being run by foreigners but then again we're not red necks (meaning in this case short-nosed) - we believe in equal opportunities. We have Democratic values unlike the US who are on this Republican roller coaster! Schwarznegger embraces a klu klax kind of exclusiveness that has obviously been made in bollywood....

Actually, what determines the overage or shortage in the supply of nurses are the patients. They would rather be served by foreign nurses and live than not to be served by American nurses and die. The more nurses there are, foreign or local, the happier and the more-well-cared-for the patients will be. Christopher Reeve's personal nurse was a foreigner and I am sure she was chosen not because she demanded higher pay. This ban for foreign nurses will surely increase the hardships of the needy patients and those who cannot afford the high cost of health care in America. And what about the ideal or legal patient-to-nurse ratio? Can it wait until the country's youth shall have been encouraged to become nurses?

As a manager I found that Filipino nurses worked the hardest than any other group of nurses I know.

Makes me nervous about migrant workers here in Florida. Are there terrorists among them?

Yes there are.

If you know any, please turn them in as a service to this country and to lessen the workload of nurses who might have to attend to the victims of terrorism.

You have no right to stereotpye me or anyone else who believes that the only immigrants that we want in this country are those that will have a positive impact here. That includes those being willing to follow all of our laws and requirements. Where does it say in this world that you should not have to work and wait if necessary to get what you want in life. If waiting to get into this country to work is a requirement for our safety the so be it. In the last 100 years or so no one has been forced to come here against their will. And if your country is a free country then your countrymen or countrywomen are also free to be recruited and make their own choices about where to work.
