Print all [Comment Now] Support Immigrant Entrepreneurs

[kittaya]

Exciting news from the White House: President Obama has announced a new initiative that will make it easier for innovators, researchers, and entrepreneurs from around the globe to bring their talents and businesses to the United States – creating well-paying American jobs.

We have just 41 days to make this policy proposal a reality. Please take a moment to read the proposed rule here and tell the President why you want job creators to bring their talents to the United States.

We are the world’s most prosperous economy because we have always been a beacon for the best and brightest. President Obama’s rule builds on that tradition.

As someone who first came to the United States when I was 16 years old, this rich history is personal for me. I had the opportunity to take risks, work hard, and build my business. PayPal, which I co-founded in 2002, today employs over 15,000 people. I’m an investor in hundreds of startups, I was the first investor and Chairman of Yelp, and today, I am the founder and CEO of Affirm and the co-founder and chairman of Glow.

Join me and submit a comment right now. Together, we can support immigrant entrepreneurs who help to keep the American economy the most innovative and competitive in the world.

There are thousands of innovators with stories like mine – and another million entrepreneurs waiting to write their own American story. That’s why I think this new proposal is profoundly important.

Thank you,
