"Members of Congress certainly write letters for constituents all the time. I think the difference here is they don't always write letters to foreign governments, and they don't always try to intervene in the way he did," said Bill Allison, a senior fellow at the Sunlight Foundation, a Washington, D.C., group that pushes for open government.

Schumer is the most corrupt member of Congress.

My opinion!

Is Schumer corrupt? Is the Pope Catholic?

I wasn’t aware of many incumbent politicians on either side of the aisle who weren’t bought by someone.

Schumer’s one of the media’s darling boys, so this will soon disappear down the memory hole.

“Schumer said his letters were a natural product of his ongoing efforts to assist health care companies as they address the nationwide shortage of nurses.”

Schumer is nuts and has no idea about the reason for the shortage of nurses.

These companies hire foreign nurses because they know the foreign nurses will work under conditions American nurses won’t. The shortage of nurses is caused by licensed nurses in the U.S. who aren’t working as nurses. The schools are turning out plenty of nurses. And the hospitals are chewing them up, spitting them out, and replacing them with the next group of nurse graduates.

As one who has more than 8 years of exposure to Filipino “Nurses” as the result of my mother-in-law residing is a very expensive facility offering “high end” assisted living apartments...... I am of the opinion that the term “Registered Nurse” applied to most of the Filipino “nurses” is a gross overstatement of qualifications and ability...

Perhaps they may be qualified as nurse’s assistants, or candy strippers — but certainly not we in America have come to expect from a Registered Nurse...
