""No British government department has ever forced a foreign doctor or nurse to immigrate"
I did not claim that they had Don.
The word I used was enticed.

Does that make the plundering of the third world for their trained medical staff acceptable to you?""

No Keith, plundering any other country is emphatically NOT acceptable, and as soon as you show me the evidence that these people WERE enticed, rather than simply choosing to come here, then I will agree with you that it was wrong.

So far, all I can see is a number of people who have come into England as legal immigrants, and performed functions of great benefit to the country, and the indigenous population.

Many of course, came as students, and achieved their qualifications at English colleges and universities, before applying to stay on and pursue their careers here.
