Atlanta, GA, Tuesday, August 22, 2012 A new report issued this week by the Partnership for a New America Economy states that immigrants started 28 percent of all new businesses in the U.S. in 2011. ?28% is a very impressive number considering immigrants are less than 13% of the U.S. population, so immigrants are twice as likely to be entrepreneurs than American born?, said Karen Weinstock, an Atlanta Immigration Attorney and managing attorney of the Atlanta Immigration law firm.
Siskind Susser. The report is based on the Census Bureau data. Business start-up rate among immigrants has jumped 50 percent since 1996 while the start-up rate for native-born Americans, declined by 10 percent during the same period. ?The report recommends that if we want the U.S. economy to recuperate, we need to pass immigration reform so that more immigrants can start new businesses? added the Georgia Immigration Attorney, ?This is what we have been telling everyone for years, that a welcoming and open immigration policy is good for everyone in the economy?, explained the immigration lawyer.
The report was authored by Robert Fairlie, an economics professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz. It found that immigrant-founded businesses tended to be smaller than other businesses, but collectively they post more than $775 billion in revenue and employ one out of every 10 workers at privately owned companies. ?I completely agree with the conclusions of the report?, stated the immigration attorney in the Atlanta area. ?Immigration reform is sorely needed and we need an immediate fix to the legal immigration crisis we are facing, shortage of H-1B and immigrant visa numbers and Congress is still doing nothing in the name of protecting the American worker?, said the immigration lawyer in Atlanta.
?This seeming protection of the American worker actually hurts American workers in reality, because the lack of available visas on one hand and visa shortages on another hand are not enabling the entrepreneurs to come here or stay here?, added the immigration attorney the Atlanta area. ?What this does is blocking the creation of new jobs in the U.S. and sending jobs via outsourcing outside the U.S.?, said the Atlanta immigration lawyer. ?If Congress gets its act together after the November elections we have a chance. The current Congress is likely stay in its ?do nothing? mode?, concluded the immigration attorney and head of the Atlanta Immigration law firm Karen Weinstock.
