USA: Where do you stand on immigration?

/in /by

While both sides debate the issue vigorously, we can challenge ourselves to imagine American business culture without immigrants.

The Partnership for a New American Economy sponsored a report titled “The ‘New American’ Fortune 500” in June of 2011. At the time, the co-chairs were Steve Ballmer, Michael Bloomberg, Julian Castro, Bill Marriott, and others. They were interested in understanding the impact immigrants have had on the Fortune 500 businesses that provide Americans with jobs and other opportunities.

What do you think found?

  • More than 40% of 2010 Fortune 500 companies were founded by immigrants or their children, yet made up only 10.5% of the American population on average since 1850.
  • There are 90 immigrant-founded Fortune 500 companies, accounting for 18% of the list.
  • When you include the 114 companies founded by the children of immigrants, the share of the Fortune 500 list grows to over 40%.
  • Fortune 500 companies founded by immigrants or children of immigrants employ more than 10 million people worldwide.
  • Immigrant-founded Fortune 500 companies alone employ more than 3.6 million people, a figure equivalent to the entire population of Connecticut.
  • Revenue generated by Fortune 500 companies founded by immigrants or children of immigrants is greater than the GDP of every country in the world outside the U.S., except China and Japan.
  • The Fortune 500 companies that boast immigrant or children-of-immigrant founders have combined revenues of $4.2 trillion. $1.7 trillion of that amount comes just from the companies founded by immigrants.
  • 7 of the 10 most valuable brands in the world come from American companies founded by immigrants or children of immigrants: Apple, Google, AT&T, Budweiser, Colgate, eBay, General Electric, IBM, and McDonald’s, to name just a few — owe their origin to a founder who was an immigrant or the child of an immigrant.

What did the report conclude?

“America’s economy has always profited from the steady influx of foreign-born talent. But in the new 21st-century global economy, we must do more to welcome the next generation of entrepreneurs, as opportunities improve around the world and competing countries roll out the red carpet. For years, America has loomed largest in the minds of the most enterprising individuals around the world. But as the global marketplace evolves, we cannot count on remaining their top choice. Budding entrepreneurs from new powerhouses like China and India see ever-better business environments back home. Countries like the U.K., Canada, and Australia are taking bold steps to draw ambitious, talented people to their shores. Meanwhile, the American immigration system continues to raise barriers to these individuals, driving away the bright foreign students who attend our universities and keeping out the aspiring businesspeople who would otherwise come here.”

Maybe it gives all of us something to think about – whether we are are immigrants ourselves or not.

Happy Friday everyone;

Sorry for the late update regarding our March event. Unfortunately the venue I was hoping to confirm (the Mandarin Hotel in Buckhead) has had some changes in management as well as policies regarding event hosting so I had to find a replacement.

The good news is that CINEBISTRO Brookhaven was nice enough to accommodate us last minute. We have had our events there already a few times, always with a great turnout.That said, please join us next Wednesday, March 8th at Cinebistro for our monthly EuroCircle get-together. Due to late notice, please invite all your international & like-minded friends to attend. Official invites will be sent today…

Wishing all a great weekend and hope to see you next Wednesday!!!

Salutations,
David

Hi Eurocirclers,
With pressures of work and family, both Tanya and I have been busy and weren’t able to organise an event for all you guys. We are back now and organised an event for next Tuesday at The Phoenix.
I know it may be short notice for some of you, but I feel like it’s a Tuesday, February 21st, 2017, which usually is a quite night for many.
The Phoenix LA offers the finest whiskies, cognacs, bourbon & scotch in the city, artful cocktails, craft beers on tap and a small, flavorful food menu. Check them out at http://www.thephoenixla.com/los-angelesWe have been given a spot at the back of the bar, both indoor and outdoor, so there will be plenty of room for you to mingle and talk.Please help us spread the word for this event. See you all there then.

Regards,

Sonny Sarna and Tanya Stawski Shamtoub

BE SURE TO LOGIN AND GET YOUR TICKET!  If you are not a member, but are at Facebook (and logged in) just click on REGISTER (upper right corner) and create yourself quickly your free profile. Be sure to check your EuroCircle city is Philadelphia.

“December 1913, Italy. A man arrives in Florence, after a 16 hour journey. He checks into a small, run down hotel. He is here for a secret meeting with two of Italy’s greatest art experts, and he has something extraordinary to sell- the world’s most famous painting, the Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci. The Mona Lisa had disappeared from the Louvre two years earlier. It was one of the most incredible art heists in history. It involved a police investigation across Europe, a possible forgery scam in America, and even the arrest of Pablo Picasso. Pablo was petrified, he was about to be deported”…… Find out what happens next, at our live talk with Joe Madeiros, of Late Night with Jay Leno.

Our speaker is none other than funny man Joe Madeiros, head comedy writer of Late Night With Jay Leno. His career began with a correspondence comedy course in joke writing, when he landed a gig on America’s favorite late night talk show. So how did he track down the thief who stole the world’s most famous painting?

Join EuroCircle and our programming partner, the Geographical Society of Philadelphia as we bring you a night of comedy, intrigue, and mystery solving with Joe Madeiros in person. After the presentation, join EuroCircle co-hostess Valeria Khmelnitsky (Ukraine) for drinks in the Northern Liberties. (Exact location TBD).

EuroCircle members:  $25 presentation, plus optional EuroCircle member gathering for drinks nearby. Cash bar.
