America Doesn’t Work Without Immigrants—Here’s Why
Billionaire immigrants and VCs discuss visa policies, green card backlogs and why the U.S. is still the best place: “One person will not screw up the American Dream."
- Over 1 million skilled workers are currently stuck in the U.S. green card backlog, with 95% from India due to per-country caps.
- H1B visa holders spend an average of 3–5 years in limbo before receiving a green card, and cannot easily switch employers.
- Immigrant-founded companies account for 55% of U.S. unicorns and 40% of Fortune 500 firms, contributing over $1 trillion annually to GDP.
