That's how they get the work visa to bring their families to the US.. There is a shortage of qualified doctors in the US, so the government actually recruits doctors overseas, especially in Asia.. Same with nurses and school teachers.

Not all of them are..I have met Asians who were Chinese food delivery people, laundry workers, even social workers(the lowest of lows of jobs). They are not all doctors...that is like saying that all Pakistani and Indian people own Dunkin Donuts, your corner convience stores, and Motel 6s.
