The number of medical school spots is effectively capped by regulation, so there will be zero problems filling those slots.
We have to integrate millions of immigrants and their children from Latin America who have come to the US over the last decade. They’re going to want to have upward mobility for their children. The kids of the fruit pickers are going to want to become doctors and professionals just as with prior waves of low skill immigration. It makes no sense to import new skilled workers, especially as many of those jobs are going to be automated away.
- rinconrex 17d agoI agree zero problems filling the spots, but the best foreign medical students are likely better than the 20% of the bottom US students that would take those positions. The US med school system with residencies and med school slots needs a total overhaul. I'm not arguing that. I would rather have higher skilled immigrants than lower skilled if possible, and I would even prefer that to promoting less meritorious US workers if they are unqualified.
