The American Dream has been shattered for highly skilled immigrants.

    Medicine is a very special example. Because medical doctors (at least in theory) deal with matters of life and death daily in the most literal sense, simple degree is not sufficient and doctors run 2-3 years of practical experience before they are accepted as a "doctor".

    This is right to the point.

    Because medicine has such a direct impact on someone's life and death, and not just a few bucks in the pocket, medical doctors are subject to stricter training standards. If the girl in the center of the article never bothered to convert her qualification to the American standards through potenatially years of expensive training, it's her own fault.

    Would you be comnfortable with a French lawyer representing you in American court of law? The person may have spectacular academic record, but French "civil law" is so much diffrent from American "common law" that any French qualifications are purely academic and practically irrelevant.

    Same goes for doctors...

  2. Immigrants should be voting Republican, which typically do not support excessive regulations. It's these regulations which are barriers of entry for immigrants with degrees and experience in other countries.

    That's pretty funny. How little you know, LOL. Kettle thy color is black.

    The word slave is derived from Slav - meaning people from pagan (paganic? pagonic? Religion causes so much grief) Slavonic states. The word slavery was developed by and in the "old continent" to describe people and actions taking place locally. Contrary to many libtards, America did not invent slavery. Further, the "edge" provided by slavery was trivial. America did not become an economic power (the first step to becoming lone superpower) until the industrial revolution - which was not the result of slave labor.

  4. The origin of slave-correct.
    The economic impact of slavery, very very false.

    As long as the disagreement remained purely a matter of North and South, the danger seemed manageable. But then North and South looked to the west. All that land, all those resources — the idea that the frontier might be closed off to slavery was unacceptable to the South. It felt like an indictment and an injustice rolled into one. Slave owners were not immune to the expansionary passion of 19th century America. They too needed room to grow, and not just to plant more cotton. Slaves could grow hemp and mine gold and build railroads and sew clothes. The economic engine of slavery was immensely powerful. Slaves were the single largest financial asset in the United States of America, worth over $3.5 billion in 1860 dollars — more than the value of America's railroads, banks, factories or ships. Cotton was by far the largest U.S. export. It enriched Wall Street banks and fueled New England textile mills. This economic giant demanded a piece of the Western action.

  5. Indians have taken over IT/tech across america, 80% of IT on wall street are indians. In a decade, they will all be in senior management/vp positions. I feel sorry for the white guys who will be graduating with a computer science degree in this country...how ironic in mere 30 years the master/slave role will completely reverse.

  6. Typical leftist thinking.

    The Indians lived on this continental land mass, however they had no part in founding or building the Nation we currently call the USA.

    The original inhabitants were not immigrants, but rather settlers and colonists. Immigrants move to a nation created by others, settlers and colonists create nations. The original European settlers began the process that built this nation, not the Indians.

    The "melting pot" and "we are all descendants of immigrants" is revisionist history.

    He's a lying son of a bitch, GO BACK YOU FUCKING IDIOT.

  9. Nah, more of the same. What is being suggested is that there were no organized governments on this land. That is completely false.

  10. So he starts his own company in another country is successful enough to let somebody foreign study in the USA then moves to the USA and sits in a cab for 12 hours a day and thinks that the country is screwed ?

    He must love that taxi a lot to not start his own company in the USA like he did in the past.

    I don't buy it!
