When it comes to immigration, we don't live in an information neutral environment. Everyone should read this well-researched, powerful article on how we choose to visually portray migrants. The world has come to believe that migrants are either threats or victims. That's not a

Here's a mindblowing fact: the share of US patenting produced by immigrant/ethnic inventors has risen extremely fast. You probably have a sense that Asian inventors play a disproportionate role in the US innovation ecosystem, but you may not realize just how much (Chinese ~ 12%

If you’re enjoying March Madness this weekend, don’t forget to thank an immigrant: James Naismith, the inventor of basketball. A few days ago I posted a chart showing how much we depend on immigrants for high-tech innovations in the form of patents. But we completely

I'm not catholic, but my condolences go out to all my catholic friends who've lost a loving and compassionate leader who did his best to lift the downtrodden. I'm thankful for good people who use their talents to serve others. apnews.com/article/vatica…

Really thankful to see The Truth About Immigration as the #1Ā Best Seller on Amazon in the immigration category. These successes are ephemeral—it won’t stay on top forever. But it’s a good moment to express thanks to all those who’ve taken the time to read the book. I’m moved by

If you ever need to restore your faith in America, go to a naturalization ceremony! Today I had the rare honor of speaking in one. Sixty three unique individuals from thirty two countries swore the oath of allegiance. The smiles and tears on their faces, and those of their loved
