[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An unregulated immigration system simply provides entry to anybody who has the opportunity or resources to cross the border, regardless of what they can contribute, whether they are the best person to do that, and their likelihood of being able to integrate.

A regulated immigration system should (ideally) identify those people who can best contribute to a country.  It should identify skill gaps and ways to assess the best people to fill these. It should also screen for any medical conditions or health issues.

For example, ideally you want anybody immigrating to a country to be a healthcare worker to have verifiable qualifications and to be screened for TB, HIV, maybe syphilis, etc. [/quote]

Healthcare workers are not routinely screened for HIV for hiring - only if they had an accident resulting in their own exposure to a patient's blood/bodily fluid.

Syphilis? Hahaha no we are not screened for that. TB, yes. Measles/MMR, varicella, sure, we are screened for immunity/prior vaccination. [/quote]

I think you misunderstood. I’m saying a healthcare worker applying to immigrate to the US should be screened, not that healthcare workers already here are screened. Is that not the case? [/quote]
