Well... Americans are flying to other countries to fix teeth cheaper. Including to Mexico. If there is a demand supply will be available at some point.

Usually doctors are legally here, but they do not have license to practice here.

In this case in Brooklyn, NY .. Medicaid was billed https://www.forumdaily.com/en/v-nyu-...-bez-licenzii/

Another place https://www.mysuncoast.com/2021/01/0...ntal-services/

Well lots of dental schools offer free services if you're willing to have a student do your work under the supervision of someone more experienced. I'd say that's a lot safer and a legal way to get work you need.

I don't think many people are going to be too keen on helping migrants.

I see no reason to be mad at these people. Be mad at whoever is sending them here.

We can be mad at them too! Did you see the ones who are playing dentist in an illegal shop in Milford? Or what about the ones who are driving and kill someone due to their recklessness? Or the ones who are stealing from hardworking people? Yeah, we can be mad at them too....all of them.

Yep...hard not to be mad at people coming here and getting free sh*t and shelter. Must be nice to just walk out of a bad situation and be taken care of.

Of course we can, and should be mad at all of them. But that's not all or most of these migrants (are any of those examples even part of this recent wave???). This of course doesn't mean we must not look after and protect our own interests, but getting "angry" at people for looking after their own interests is kind of pointless. If we are encouraging people to come to our state through overly generous freebies, that is nobody's fault but our own.

Take away the freebies and the freeloaders will go away leaving only the people who are willing to work to contribute to society.

How is it "embarrassing to you? There's nothing wrong with expecting those who want to come here to do so in accordance with our immigration laws.

The government is obviously incompetent so I'd have no trust they're doing these things without talking to them.

If I actually sat and thought about it I could come up with a few dozen more. The facts are just like that guy said, they are here to stay for now and there will probably be more to come. It is reasonable to be not happy they are here and hope that they move along asap. I'm not sure how screaming at them or in some cases having literal nsc-131 nazi marches helps.

^^^^We have millions of Americans who are suffering and need help. Have you ever heard the expression "Charity starts at home"? Do you even know what it means? It means that we take care of our own first and foremost. If there is anything left over after doing so, then help those who are legal immigrants who obeyed our immigration laws. For example, would you feed, clothe and shelter total strangers and let your own family do without?

How many so-called "migrants" have you taken into your own home? Or do you just talk the talk and refuse to walk the walk?

I get what you're saying but it isn't 'we' who are encouraging anyone to come here. The red states are shipping migrants to blue states. I also get their point, but to say we are encouraging migrants to come here and be taken care of by our tax dollars, schools, hospitals and hotels is not true. And that's why people are mad. It's not going to go away.
