LEGAL? or ILLEGAL? The article does not say. Sure they came on a student visa...but, I’ve heard 1/2 of all illegals came on visas that have since expired....
A secure Southern and Northern border would have no affect on immigrants like these coming to the US because these immigrants are LEGAL. They followed the rules and would benefit from enforcing current laws.
That’s wonderful but these were LEGAL immigrants.
I think the underlying purpose of this article is to point out how good and hard working immigrants are and we (anti ILlegal immigration folks) should be ashamed of being so racist.
They just can’t see the difference between LEGAL and ILlegal.
I love immigrants, and heartily welcome them to the US!!!
Legal immigrants, that is...
They would do a lot better if they weren’t forced to fight their way upstream against a flood of illegals.
And you still don’t know how many of these highly educated people came from Mexico. Probably none. So what good do they do this country? How many lettuce pickers do we really need?
Mexico dumps 20 million and they still don't make the list.
Kansas City is a sanctuary city.
I know. That is why I assigned the underlying purose to the article.
My parent thake their dog to a veterinarian who is from Mexico, and is one of the best vets within 200 miles.
Sure you did. You just didn't realize that we did too, and welcome people like these with open arms.
Indeed. I think it'd be enlightening to hear the opinions on illegal immigration of these company founders.
...then again, we'd never hear the results.
As long time metro K.C., be very, very wary of anything put out by "Kauffman Foundation."
Ewing Kauffman (original owner of K.C. Royals and founder of Marion Labs), was pretty conservative, his adopted daughter, Julia Irene, definitely IS NOT and those chosen to be on "her" foundation follow her directions.
Kauffman Foundation also back some over-the-edge liberal groups and the mere fact that they use the label "immigrants," is somewhat suspect.
“I didn’t know this........”
Honestly, that’s a tip-off that you haven’t been in graduate school
in the USA (in sciences/engineering) for a couple of decades.
The first language for the majority of grad students/postdocs
in many university research labs is Chinese (Mandarin or Cantonese).
And yes, they are LEGAL residents of the USA.
A totally different breed of person from the ILLEGALS invading the USA.
