@JamesBrown00777 @basketofborax @ABC I agree. Millions upon millions here illegally don't qualify for asylum, which is why they've never applied. If they know enough to evade the law, they know. Re: traversing the planet to the US, asylum was never intended to be "pick where on the planet you want to go."

@AmyInNHTheReal1 @basketofborax @ABC I want the law changed. The world doesn't need millions of illegal aliens roaming all over the place. Borders have developed over hundreds of years, for good reason.

The Department of Justice has notified a federal judge that it has been erroneously relying on an ICE memo to justify arrests at immigration courts, according to a new court filing. abcnews.link/1cJflmY

@docshanep @MaryBowdenMD "spot they want most" I'd like a seafood dinner... "choice" None left isn't a choice of nothing.

@AmyInNHTheReal1 @MaryBowdenMD US DOCs didn't choose the lowly primary care spots. The match is a choice; med students pick the spot they want most. 1400 or so of those spots unfilled, according to recent data, were family medicine and internal medicine.

1367 US medical students did not get a US residency spot. 6733 international, non-US medical students got a US residency spot.

@ABC The answer in this moment is SO obvious. Hand the TSA person a couple bucks while you're standing right there in line.

@basketofborax @JamesBrown00777 @ABC A person has 1 year from arrival to apply for asylum. That's law. There just isn't enough detail, to discern if judge's acting within the law, or outside the law. Article presumes immigration enforcement isn't. Poor journalism.

@JamesBrown00777 @ABC How are they trespassing if they’re on their way to court? That’s literally where they’re supposed to be.

@ABC "to allow the individual to pursue legal relief by seeking asylum" Legitimate, if individual has been present, for under 1 year. Else, not in accordance with US law.

@RAllfamily @MaryBowdenMD @POTUS @VP @SecRubio Election [constituency interests] is over. Back to Washington's top priority, "national" interests, aka elites' interests.

@MaryBowdenMD @POTUS @VP @SecRubio “1367 US medical students did not get a US residency spot. 6733 international, non-US medical students got a US residency spot.” America first Limit foreign Med students

@I_Luv_Idaho @MaryBowdenMD The Mr went to Wayne State on a "scholarship", where they put him to work at $5 an hour as a research assistant. He'll be the first to tell you he's no brain storm. No US with a bachelor's would be a captive at $5 an hour. Many a foreign student is not here due to talent.

@MaryBowdenMD University of Pennsylvania declines high performing American students all the time!

@le_julz @MaryBowdenMD "...isn’t it a merit based selection?" You believe that because...? "Should a less qualified be matched...?" Should no American be employed because someone on the planet is a more qualified candidate? And at American tax payers' expense?

@MaryBowdenMD I’m confused, isn’t it a merit based selection? Should a less qualified be matched over a more qualified candidate because of their nationality?? 😳

@GirlJce @MaryBowdenMD @roots177665175 Tax funds also pay for residencies. Wild, being shunted the [tax] bills for this, given the high profit of healthcare.

@MaryBowdenMD @roots177665175 That is so wrong!!! And I’m sure these schools are getting millions in taxpayer dollars!

@BStarr96522 @MaryBowdenMD UN's Migration Policy Institute say the most direct 3rd world aid, is remittances. I haven't read their site lately, but didn't see anything on evaluating the disruption to nations who damage their own populations fiscal stability, with influx.

@MaryBowdenMD Is it morally and ethically proper to rob other nations who need them of medical talent?

@rlp0618 @MaryBowdenMD "How in the world is this happening?" Globalism. It includes one of the most lucrative markets being traded, West's jobs.

@MaryBowdenMD This makes me so f’ing angry! How in the world is this happening? Absolutely disgusting.

@deanvotesright @MaryBowdenMD Electioneering slogan. Only.

@MaryBowdenMD Terrible. So much for Americans first. Again.

@Desertdogdaze @MaryBowdenMD @jathorpmfm Yes. Influx glut is highly profitable. To both product sales markets, and depressing wage and mobility of labor market.

@MaryBowdenMD @jathorpmfm Is it the foreign money??

@docshanep @MaryBowdenMD "don't want..."? They were offered?

@MaryBowdenMD Come on doc, you can see most of these unfilled spots are in primary care which US docs don’t want. Primary care is the issue. It’s been destroyed and a ton of docs don’t what those jobs. We’ve got a primary care problem.

@MaryBowdenMD 1367 US medical students fall into debt, for sake of giving 6733 international, non-US medical students a US residency spot.

@AhmadRehanKhan "because US graduates often choose"? Are you claiming they were offered those positions?

𝗙𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮: Blatant misrepresentation of the 2026 Residency Match. Let’s get the facts straight. US MD seniors unmatched: 1,367 SOAP positions available: >1,500 Most unmatched US graduates still secure positions through SOAP. Why did they go unmatched in the first place? Because many apply overwhelmingly to ultra competitive specialties like Orthopedic Surgery, Dermatology, Plastic Surgery, Neurosurgery. These fields are dominated by top tier US applicants competing against each other, not IMGs. In reality, IMGs rarely apply and even more rarely match into these specialties. The claim that IMGs are “taking away” spots from US graduates is simply false. Go to primary care programs across Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, Chicago, Baltimore and many other underserved areas. You will find residency classes that are nearly 100 percent IMGs, because US graduates often choose not to train there. The truth is simple. Without IMGs, large parts of the US healthcare system would struggle to function. Pic Courtesy @DrAamirLaghari #Match2026 #MedTwitter #SOAP #NRMP #Matchday #USMLE #IMGs #ResidencyMatch #ECFMG

@gr8ded1 @KellyAyotte So you have no legitimate defense of DWI, based in "the constitution".

@AmyInNHTheReal1 @KellyAyotte I’m muting you now. You can’t genuinely be this stupid. Grow up lady. The law has no feelings 🤷🏻

Our law shouldn't incentivize people stopped for impaired driving to refuse a test. My message to the House is clear: close the loophole so we can save lives.

@JBlunt1018 Why are you using % for US med grads, and # for foreign med grads? Why are you using speculation that US grads wouldn't take those jobs, when they were never offered those jobs? Why blow it up? Why purport specious arguments defending status quo, that's why.

NOT AGAIN — Over the past decade, the U.S. has steadily increased the number of residency positions, reaching 43,237 total positions in 2025, the highest ever. Yet even with that growth, the system still struggles to fully align supply with demand. Every year, 93–94% of U.S. MD seniors match, and over 92% of DO seniors match, meaning the vast majority of U.S. graduates secure positions. At the same time, nearly 10,000 international medical graduates (IMGs) matched into U.S. residency programs in 2025, filling critical gaps in the system. Even after the main match, 2,500+ residency positions remained unfilled and had to be offered through SOAP, a process specifically designed to fill vacancies that U.S. grads did not take. IMGs are not “taking” spots at scale, they face much lower match rates (≈58–68%) compared to U.S. graduates, meaning they are competing for and often filling the positions others leave behind. The facts remain — U.S. grads overwhelmingly match at high rates — Certain specialties and locations remain undesirable — And thousands of positions would go unfilled without IMGs Without international doctors, entire parts of the U.S. healthcare system, especially rural and primary care, would be understaffed. How did we end up wanting to blow up everything that adds value to America?

@gr8ded1 @KellyAyotte That has nothing to do with rescinding their license.

@AmyInNHTheReal1 @KellyAyotte There IS a constitutional right against self incrimination. It’s the 5th amendment, it’s the amendment that forcing people to blow or provide blood WITHOUT A WARRANT forbids. What you’re doing when the government infringes upon your rights is irrelevant. Jesus you’re obtuse

@PopeThe48695 @RonHira Possibly. But that doesn't make it inaccurate.

@RonHira And that’s still emotionally charged language
