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.

As a reader, you’re often inside one or more character heads, so you know what they’re feeling, even if they can’t exactly say it, or they say it so obliquely that the other characters don’t catch it. Readers are frequently reminded of the gulf between what people say and what they mean, and such moments prod us to become more attuned to gesture, tone, and language.
