I am quite we have discussed this before, Rafal. You have of course used an
ancient debating tactic here: seize upon one good argument, and try to apply
to different areas.
I myself and I am sure many other socalled "dirty rotten commie pinko
protectionists" has said that some medical specialties are just too important
to restrict.
As I have said before, I favor the unfettered import of all doctors we
possibly can get. Of course, the doctors have organized far more than the
programmers, et al, and have raised the standard for foreign doctors (making
them get a higher score on a test than American doctors), so as to restrict
the supply.
A few genuine *scientists* are another case of a common good. Of course,
globalist dogma says if A is good, then B-Z is also good. So now we are
lowering our standard of living because of a flood of legal and illegal
foreign labor.
And now we have our own govt facilitating job outsourcing.
