> Do we want to help the immigrants or the American economy? These aren't mutually exclusive. I was an immigrant from Canadian (first on TN, then H1), started a company with an American co-founder, provided opportunities for hundreds of Americans to make money doing what they do best - teach. American economy +1. I learned a ton, met some amazing people, got some good experience, and am confident that I could do it again. Immigrant +1. Problem is that US policy makes it difficult to do it again without an American co-founder. And this is what I don't understand: doesn't America want start risk-takers who leave their country to come and start businesses, grow the total pie, and earn a small slice of it? Isn't that how the country became so great?
