   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.
