Same story everywhere. Intel was founded by Andy Grove, a refugee. I recently saw a comment opposing refugees mention that refugees in the old days were Eastern Europeans, whereas nowadays it is people from backwards countries (whatever that means). Anti-refugee sentiment is often racism that just happens to be accepted. Sbux once offered 10,000 refugees jobs, and had to rescind them in favor of veterans because Americans were offended. My personal view is refugees are often the hardest working and most honest people, given they experienced extreme hardships (similar to how holocaust survivors went on to dominate business and finance in America). It is such a shame America turned its back on many (particularly from Syria and Ukraine in recent years, although many churches sponsored Ukrainian families because they are Christian. Funny enough, I believe 10% of Syria are Christians too, but suburban churches did not sponsor them, with a minister saying they do not blend in, whatever that means).
