Are you sure it's illegal? Like 80+ percent of the doctors in my metro area got their degrees in India (where they immigrated from). There is some form of reciprocity going on.

I don't know what india has, but i can assure you that India's doctors would all emigrate to the US if they could work as a doctor there.
Foreign doctors still need a US residency. The number of slots for residencies is capped. I could imagine a world where the US signs reciprocal agreements with EU countries to honor their medical professional training without a residency. I cannot imagine the same for India or Argentina.
