For the record, Sergey Brin, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Patrick and John Collison, and Jerry Yang are foreign-born. Probably more would not have been here if their parents had not been allowed to immigrate. Now that you mention it, I would trade a few of them away, but I doubt the market would like to erase their work.
The first three we would be better off without, don’t recognize the last three. Not sure you are really selling your point.
I don't have a particular love for any of them, but the point was they generated billions in value for the valley in what some consider a golden age.
Google at least, I think people would say there was a period of near-universally believing it was a good thing, and one immigrant was a founder.
It definitely shaped our society. And if you think it's for the worse, might that suggest college-educated Anglo-adapting immigrants are more dangerous to us than the ones right-wingers are telling us to focus on?
