It would have to be an extremely fast influx to cause real problems along those lines. Social services are able to handle a growing case load with growing budget pretty well.

That totally depends on the existing population of the state/region in question...
You can't grow doctors on tree just because you now get more funding. It take 6+ years to train a doctor while people can cross a border and grow the population right now.
Are doctors usually underrepresented among legal immigrants? I could see it actually helping out with our self-inflicted doctor supply problems.
Also the "all immigration happens overnight" plan is obviously a bad way to handle things. That lag wouldn't be a big deal if we 'merely' instantly doubled the rate we issue green cards and ramped up from there, just to make up some numbers.

Definitely.

Only if they are overrepresented which they aren't(in Europe at least). You need to actually work hard to convince doctors to come to your country and not others, but with other migrants you need the opposite. Convince them to stop coming.
