I agree with Amy M. WIlkinson, I think that a lot of people who could generate jobs are being shut down. People want to come to this country to start a business, which would be great for the country, but they are being told they can't. In my opinion, the number of immigrants , or immigrant born children that have started up successful businesses in the US is high.
The case about he Stanford graduate was pretty interesting. Sometimes I think that people who were't bon in this country have more motivation. Maybe because we had it easy since we were born, we don't push ourselves as hard sometimes.

This article was my favorite. I love reading stories about people who started off with nothing, then became very successful. Coming from Italian immigrant parents, Jeno Pauluci borrowed the $2,500 to start off from a friend and he would also borrow the space to make the food. About 20 years later, he sold his company for $63 million. After selling it, he started another one up which sold for $163 million.
