The “American Dream” is alive and well globally. The United States is widely recognized as one of the best places to invest and to start and grow a business. Almost one-half of all Fortune 500 companies were originally founded by immigrants to the US or their children – and immigrant-run businesses employ one in 10 American workers*. Think Google, AT&T, Yahoo, Nordstrom, eBay, and Comcast and you conjure conglomerates that were spawned by someone who emigrated to the United States.
