In this week’s Immigration Law for Tech Startups podcast, we’re celebrating National Immigrants Day here in the United States. I have so much respect and admiration for our country’s immigrants who have shown grit, determination, vision, and perseverance that these global legal processes can demand from them.

 

This country's history is all about immigration. No matter how we look at it, we can't get away from the fact that this is a nation of immigrants. And so today, I wanted to take some time to look at the contributions of immigrants in Silicon Valley and celebrate those individuals who live, learn, work, build families, start companies, and build their dreams in the United States, making such a significant contribution to the fabric of this nation – culturally and economically.
