Foreign-born doctors and academics have been making America great again for decades, long before this “little president”decided to try to make it “white again”.
More than one-quarter of physicians and surgeons (27 percent) were foreign born, as were more than one out of every five (22 percent) persons working in health care support jobs as nursing, psychiatric, and home health aides. www.migrationpolicy.org/...
Dotard Tramp supporters are indeed low information voters. They have no idea that if we make our country unwelcoming and unpleasant for all these people to live here, then we could have a quarter of our healthcare force leave. if you thought getting an appointment with a doctor was hard, just wait till we get rid of all these immigrants!
There are 656,000 doctors and surgeons working in the United States, of which 254,000 are immigrants.
15,000 of those doctors come from the 7 Muslim majority countries that have been subject to Trump's Muslim Ban.
According to The Medicus Firm, a firm that recruits doctors for "hard-to-fill" jobs, about 9,000 of these doctors are from Iran, 3,500 from Syria and more than 1,500 from Iraq.
The largest contributors to the health care sector in the US actually come from "India, China, Philippines, Korea and Pakistan."
Two other countries on Trump's list - Iran and Syria - are considered to be the sixth and tenth largest contributors to the industry respectively.
That’s ok, they don’t want any Muslims here, doctor or not. They just want to revel in their own whiteness and Christianity, thank you very much. Even though the rural areas, which are the biggest supporters of trump, rely heavily on these foreign born doctors.
Arizona ranks 42nd in the nation for the number of active primary care physicians per 100,000 residents, and, according to the University of Portland, 23.3 percent of doctors in Arizona are foreign born.
At least they were smart enough to elect a Democrat for a senator this time!
The city of Logan in West Virginia has just 1,779 citizens. The nearest large city, Charleston, is an hour away, via winding roads through the Appalachian mountains. Logan is surrounded by rural land, and is in an area which has lost half its population since the 1950s.
...
Only 1.3% of the population in West Virginia is foreign-born, one of the US's lowest levels, but a third of its doctors was born abroad, according to Census data. People have grown accustomed to hearing foreign accents in the doctor's office.
In Logan County’s Democratic primary in 2012, Obama was soundly defeated by Keith Judd, a Texas felon serving a seventeen-and-a-half-year sentence for extortion.
No wonder it’s not shocking for them to have a money-laundering president.
“When people talk about Trump, they talk about how they don’t like the establishment or the élites,” Charles Keeney, a history professor at Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College, in Logan County, says. “When they say that, they mean who they see on television—they envision people in New York City making fun of them and calling them stupid. Every time you leave the state, you get it—someone will say, Oh, you’re from West Virginia, do you date your cousin? Wow, you have shoes, wow you have teeth, are you sure you’re from West Virginia? So when they see that the media élite is driven out of their mind at the success of Donald Trump it makes them want to root for him. It’s like giving the middle finger to the rest of the country.”
Ha ha ha, the joke’s on you buddy! Let’s see how you’d like a third of your doctors leave!

Remind me, who is making America great again?
Making America Dumb Again
While it’d be easy to disparage Trump for his low register, his campaign is appealing to a surprisingly wide group of people. His win in New Hampshire cut across most demographic groups, with particular support among people without college degrees. Trump’s style is fitting for a campaign prides itself on its appeal to everyday Americans—an explicit reject of the so-called elites of the establishment.
