Uh look, this is a false equivalency. Nobody is complaining about the brilliant immigrants who are founding companies.
People are upset about using immigrant labor as price competition to depress wages and capture middle class income to be transferred to the wealthy.
We all see this all the time--companies hire legal immigrant labor or import H1B's to pay 80% of the prevailing wage, meanwhile a massive and unnecessary management structure compensates itself lavishly.
This is a classic "commons" problem. It's advantageous for any individual company, but when everyone does it, it leads to the tragedy of the commons. In this case that tragedy is the collapse of the American consumer. He's being attack by high health costs, food costs, energy costs, regulatory burden, grift from financial institutions, education costs and he has no more money to spend at Waltmart-- the guys who caused the problem in the first place.
