there are regular Americans who are too overqualified for their work as well. No doubt, if you've been in the country more than 10 years and you are still washing dishes, there is a problem. Most people who were educated abroad typically pickup a different degree here or open sometime of a business eventually. So they don't usually end up long in min. wage jobs. And I'm just speaking on immigrants that I've come into contact with over the years.
Rudey,
Just wondering, is all.

So what is your point then? You're agreeing with Swissmiss' article that says:

I read an article about South Asian business owners exploiting other South Asians to work as domestic servants, restaurant workers, and other low paying jobs

Or are you agreeing with me that people are only as exploited as they want to be? And my statement there takes into account immigrants that are just trying to get their feet off the ground and *choose* to work a few low paying jobs to do so.
In the US, I have no sympathy for smart folks that take crappy jobs. With all that you can do to get yourself out of a situation like that, there just is no excuse. It's a good thing there are folks out there like that though. We'll always need fry cooks and gardeners.
