So if you tell Infosys that they can't have Indian H1-B cobol programmers in the US, don't you think they'll just hire them in India at even lower wages? So we lose a job, we lose the taxes they would have paid, we lose the s

As bad as the US is in those statistics, you'd expect this island to be 5 - 20 times worse looking at the range of third world countries on the list.

If you just say "intern" the inference is high school or college student. So it is an indirect attack on her credibility. She may not be an authority, but by quoting more of her bio, it at least gives better perspective.

Sorry, didn't mean to nitpick the misquote as much as to point out that the implication seems far from reality: 15% actual poverty rate vs the 50% implied by Salon. I'm sure the people living between 16% and 20% aren't living
