Jan 05, 2007 in Technology, Politics
According to a study by researchers at Berkeley, 47 percent of venture-backed technology start-ups have immigrant founders. In Silicon Valley, a staggering 52 percent of technology start-ups have at least one immigrant as a key founder. Advocates of limiting immigration would do well to observe the role immigrants have played in building the world’s technological and entrepreneurial hub and the impact their contributions have had on the American economy.
