Tesla to Pfizer: 14 major US companies founded by immigrants
The United States of America is a country of immigrants. The only people here before the first great immigration of the pilgrims were the American Indians who now are believed to have immigrated over the land bridge prior and during the first ice age.
We as a country have experienced great waves of immigration throughout our history. During the colonial era, and the first part of the 19th century vast amounts of immigrants came to America seeking greater economic opportunity, while some, such as the Pilgrims in the early 1600s, arrived in search of religious freedom.
America is known as the land of opportunity for a reason. The idea that people can come here to make their ideas is a testament to how great the idea of immigration is.
It’s also why we have powerful search engines, economy vehicles and yogurt.
In fact, 40% of Fortune 500 companies were founded by either immigrants or the children of immigrants and immigrants make up over 28% of all us owned business. I guess if you consider all of the citizens of the USA immigrants who just arrived at different times in history the real number would be 100% of businesses are either owned by immigrants or their descendants.
Some great examples of this are listed below:

We’re Stronger Together: What Happens After Standing Rock?
Good read
When I first arrived in North Dakota to report on Standing Rock, I visited the State Capitol, built in 1934, the tallest building in Bismarck. The Art Deco interior has gilded everything — doorframes, ashtrays, elevator buttons. On a late afternoon in December, I stood at a window on the 18th floor and looked outside. Tiny people scurried through the streets below, and tailpipes puffed a fog of spent petroleum into the cold air. The snowy horizon was the same color as the clouds in the light gray sky, the landscape a pale abstraction that went on forever beyond the neatly gridded city. Somewhere to the south, thousands of people hunkered in the NoDAPL camps against the coming winter. From where I stood, I couldn’t see them.
In the days that followed, as I traveled through the camps and spoke to the water protectors, I had the sense that this…

Viruses Communicate To Coordinate Their Attack During An Infection, Study Finds
Viruses communicate with one another to proceed with the process of infection. During an infection, bacterial viruses (phages) release peptide molecules that tell later phage generations whether it is preferable to attack their host cells or lie dormant. A study at the Weizmann Institute of Science has revealed that viruses communicate with one another to proceed…
