If it were back to normal, then why would so much of the British Army be deployed there on peacekeeping etc right now?

What also amazes me, is that these people came to the US (and incidentally a lot of them came to the UK too) to escape ethnic hatred. Ironic or what?

They are a two hundred bed hospital that is listing nursing positions available.
Also, if you do not want to go into nursing, they have housekeeping positions, security, maintenance, respiratory therapy, dishwasher, food service and a coder position among others.

Everything that I can find in regards to that hospital suggests that it is growing. There was a restructuring in 2004 where they integrated a clinic, and some layoffs may have taken place but they were described as "temporary" and certainly not due to immigrants. Now they are hiring.

And let's not confuse "non-profit" with "nobody getting rich".
