to apply their skills and better the american system while improving their quality of life (ie. cheaper living expenses and better pay)? A work visa that can naturalize into PR?
If state bars and colleges can already recognize canadian law and medical degrees respectively, why can't the US federal gov't do the same if one will eventually be willing to pay taxes? In before homeland security. Call me entitled but a working visa should be easily obtainable if you're a canadian/mexican that's graduated from an accredited US school...otherwise it defeats part of the purpose NAFTA. It should be a straightforward process and not one where it's ymmv depending on the border official. The green card should then be fast-tracked and not take your average 10+ years.
again, may be i'm just spewing what if's that is already the truth. I didn't give this a good in-depth look yet....to everyeone else, sorry for going off-topic.

i sense a slight smell of entitlement with you - good luck with that, the US isn't a place for those with an entitlement complex (well, it used to totally not be, but the welfare state it is becoming is changing that)
