For when the facts are absent and even if they were there fail to adequately address the point that was made. I did not feel like a tedious debate. But since you insist and were helpful enough to provide some data:
> Immigrants are now more than twice as likely to start a business as the native-born
The point was: most immigrants do not start companies. Based on your quoted fact: if native-born people have a x% chance to start a business, immigrants have a 2x% chance to start a business. That means 100%-2x% of immigrants are not likely to start businesses. If x is 5, that means 90% of immigrants will probably not start a business.
To say it in plain English: your facts support the point that most immigrants to not start companies.
- davidw 13y ago> your facts support the point that most immigrants to not start companies. Neither do must "natives". That wasn't my point. The point was that immigrants tend to be a bit more entrepreneurial, and start more companies. Many of those companies are not 'startups' like we discuss here, but still, some of them grown and provide employment.
