Ireland has alot of Philipino nurses who do a great job, some great foreign Doctors to fill the void that we have here.
Rural America (and more it seems from Whatsthenews) obviously has a problem with positions that Americans simply do not want so there is the proof that there is plenty of jobs out there that Americans wont take for whatever reason.
With the population losses on the Mississippi and Louisiana gulf coasts after Katrina and now the BP oil spill there is a huge need for welders and pipe fitters for ship building and oil rig assembly. I have heard they imported a large number of Brazilians and Indians to fill these jobs. All the while Bubba and his friends sit around in the backwoods cursing President Obama for not giving them jobs

The comprehensive immigration reform act was first introduced in 2007 and still hasn't been passed.
Along side the things you would expect regarding border maintenance etc there was this part
Creates the new H-2C nonimmigrant worker program to provide additional workforce capacity in employment sectors for which there is a shortage of available American labor.
The program permits employers to petition for workers only after meeting strict criteria for ensuring that American labor is unavailable and paying additional fees (up to $1,500 per application) based on company size.
Visa holders must meet criminal and other background checks, have an offer of employment, and otherwise be admissible to the U.S. Dependents will be permitted to enter the U.S.
The initial H-2C visa is valid for three years and may be renewed for three more years.
With some exceptions, an H-2C visa will be revoked if the visa holder has been unemployed for more than 60 days. After 4 years, an H-2C non-immigrant may file an application for adjustment of status, provided that he has been continuously employed, establishes progress toward civics and English proficiency, meets all criminal and other background checks and pays additional fines and fees.
This was written with nurses in mind in particular.
