A degree in what?
As a substitute teacher in a metropolitan U.S. city, I can verify/document that at least one middle school has a Chinese citizen assisting in one of their classrooms, instructing at least one class each week on Chinese culture, and teaching the Mandarin language to those students.
This person is allowed to be in the United States, expounding on Chinese history, culture, and language through the auspices of "Cultural Exchange". China is a communist country! What is the value to U.S. students of "cultural exchange" with a communist?
What is the benefit to a U.S. student to be taught by a teacher certified by Mexico, but not the U.S.? Individual U.S. states don't even allow teachers from other states to teach without their certification requirements.
I graduated with a B.S. in Education from Oklahoma, moved to Missouri without ever obtaining Oklahoma State Certification, received a life certification to teach in Missouri. Upon returning to Oklahoma 20 years later, I was required to submit all college transcripts and teaching experience in order to obtain Oklahoma Teaching Certification. Even with a Master's in Education, the State of Oklahoma will only issue a two-year teaching certificate to me. Every two years, I have to apply again!
There are many people with degrees working in other countries; but these are usually employed by companies who have contracts with that country, and are hired and contractually obligated to a company, not a country.

There needs to be standards and in some cases a degree from another country is not up to the standard of the same degree in the USA. I am in agreement with this, however, there should be easy ways for someone to challenge our degrees with a test to prove if their degree is up to our standards.

We have several doctors working in my town that did get their degree from a foreign country. I am not what their req. were for being licensed here but some of them are pretty smart..some on the other hand...a preschool could do a better job..and they CAN'T understand English and barely speak it.. It's very annoying to be VERY sick and not be able to talk to your doctor. So I know in the medical field you can ..not sure of other fields.

More people want to come here than we can support in services and a huge number of them and their families end up drawing services. I presume the ones from the US either go back or are lower than the number of people leaving the country to go to the US, so more than a balance is maintained.
I'd rather have you than uneducated unskilled illegals, but the vast numbers of illegals does necessarily impact our legal policy.
Hang around, though.

Wrong. With a US education degree all by itself, you can't go teach in Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia or New Zealand. Your question is wrong.
Here's what your question is like:
If water will drown us, then why is the air we breathe liquid?
Answer: You are wrong for asking the question.

it has to do with a country recognizing the value of your degree
MOST countries say yes...give us USA degrees...but in the USA
they have a strict standard and eliminate LOTS of countries

Well, it's a rather wide allegation and it depends on the nature of the employment, and also on the skills.
