The group I think it is the most *unfair* to to allow FMGs to come train/practice here is the people of their original country. Many FMGs get to go to medical school for free, and then they leave the country after getting their socially-funded education.

Not that this problem affects me/citizens here directly, but if I were a citizen of the country which the doctor got his/her free education and left I'd be pretty pissed. I'm surprised they don't have laws to prevent this from happening.
