Robbing Developing Nations
Brain drain is the migration of skilled human resources from developing countries to developed countries.
The fundamental problem for immigration activists
“There are two main groups who support higher immigration: people who vote for left-wing parties, and people who bankroll right-wing parties.
Those in the second group have entirely self-interested reasons for supporting higher immigration: to increase the supply of labour, thereby reducing workers’ bargaining power; and to get the workers they need ready-trained, rather than having to sponsor their training themselves.”
A growing, worldwide concern is the impact on healthcare in the under-developed countries that are deprived of the efforts and scarce resources they invested to educate and train these skilled workers.
High-Skilled or Low-Skilled Immigrants?
High-skilled migrants are universally preferred, and for good reason: they tend to have low crime rates and to make positive fiscal contributions; they don’t compete with native workers for jobs and they’re less likely to form ethnic enclaves on the outskirts of cities.
By depressing wage rates for low-skilled workers, an increase in the population due to low-skilled immigration increases inequality of wages among workers and inequality among families in the destination country.
Brain Drain is not just caused by a desire for better pay; security also plays a role. Many medical professionals are planning to leave British Columbia because of Bill 36.
BC Government Establishes Medical “Ministry of Truth”
Bill 36 allows a health professional to be fined up to $200,000 or jailed up to six months if they knowingly provide “false or misleading information to a person who is exercising a power or performing a duty under this act, or a person acting under the order or direction of that person.”
The fine is $500,000 if the doctor has incorporated his or her practice.
The bill also allows a patient’s private medical records to be seized and copied by ruling bodies and for the government to mandate medical interventions.
Dr. William Makis, an Edmonton doctor who grew up in communist Czechoslovakia, says the bill encourages the snitch culture common to totalitarian regimes.
“Now you can file anonymous complaints against doctors. Doctors can have their licenses suspended before a complaint has been investigated, no due process, just straight up suspension. There’s also a portion of the bill where doctors and nurses are strongly encouraged to report other doctors and other nurses for misinformation,” Makis said.
