Foreign-born doctors are on the front lines in the fight against Covid-19—and if they get sick or die, their families could face deportation

Anupam Kumar, a critical-care doctor who specializes in treating damaged lungs, sees about a dozen extremely sick patients with Covid-19 on a typical shift.

Like most doctors, he is anxious he could become infected with the new coronavirus that causes Covid-19 and carry it home to his family. But unlike most other U.S. health-care providers, he has another worry: Infection could also lead to the deportation of him and his family.

The American way

This does not apply to a naturalized citizen, or US citizen , very few if any on H1Visa

What a beautiful country

This is just another game being played by temporary work Visa holders. They are using the pandemic to, hopefully, accelerate their green cards. Most of these doctors are not board certified. Those in information technology are doing the same thing. Mean.

You should have mentioned all H1B holder waiting for GC is is same situation. Why you mentioned only about doctor? Other professional’s family members doesn’t deserve the same treatment on immigration? Please speak for every legal non-immigrant waiting.

Quite a bit of Fake News rhetoric mixed with half truths.

Most of my doctors are immigrants . The without them Americans would suffer.

And they have a greater chance of being struck by lightning

This is the WSJ agenda via your white supremacy buddy Trump.

This is how MAGA works; use up the bodies of black and brown people then deport them. GOPPurge2020

Thems the rules

My Dad asked his Indian doctor why he didn't take his expertise back to New Delhi, and the doctor told my Dad , 'that's because I can make MORE MONEY in the USA ' ... so, it's really all about money, now , isn't it ?
