Canada sets aside 36 percent of their visas for people with skills they think their country needs. We set aside six percent. We educate the doctors, and then don't give 'em a green card.
Interpretation
The quote highlights the discrepancy in immigration policies between countries regarding skilled workers.
Michael Bloomberg's quote underscores the inefficiency in the U.S. immigration system, particularly concerning skilled workers such as doctors. While Canada prioritizes the entry of skilled individuals to meet its labor needs, the U.S. invests in educating these professionals but fails to provide adequate pathways for them to stay and work in the country, resulting in a loss of talent that could benefit society.
In practice
In a discussion about immigration reform, one might cite this quote to highlight the need for better visa policies.

Ten years have passed since a perfect blue sky morning turned into the blackest of nights.

I now understand what Nelle Morton meant when she said that one of the great tasks in our time is to "hear people to speech." Behind their fearful silence, our students want to find their voices, speak their voices, have their voices heard. A good teacher is one who can listen to those voices even before they are spoken-so that someday they can speak with truth and confidence.
We should spend less time at universities filling our students' minds with content by lecturing at them, and more time igniting their creativity … by actually talking with them.

Child hunger and child obesity are really just two sides of the same coin. Both rob our children of the energy, the strength and the stamina they need to succeed in school and in life. And that, in turn, robs our country of so much of their promise.
Am I learning how to use my Bible? The way to become complete for the Master’s service is to be well soaked in the Bible; some of us only exploit certain passages. Our Lord wants to give us continuous instruction out of His word; continuous instruction turns hearers into disciples.
