“The biggest constraint on the number of new startups that get created in the US is not tax policy or employment law or even Sarbanes-Oxley. It’s that we won’t let the people who want to start them into the country.”
The Founder Visa—Paul Graham
He makes a very salient point. The immigration process for the US right now is kinda focussed in a ‘protect our American jobs’ direction, but this comes at the expense of letting people from outside the US *create* new jobs. Not all of us are looking for employment; some (like me) want to start a company ourselves.
