It's undeniably both. Intel, Google, and PayPal were all founded by immigrants, as are thousands of small businesses in this country. And yes, these companies are largely founded and operated in larger urban areas that also attract immigrants. A win-win, as it were.

I live in a county (Montgomery County, MD) that has 4 of the most diverse communities in the entire country and in a region that has the 8 of the 20 wealthiest counties in the nation. This is not happenstance.

The vast majority of immigrants emigrated due to the opportunities available to them here.

Here’s why Jeffrey Gundlach thinks Trump might drop out of 2020 presidential race

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/he...ace-2019-06-19

Never want to hope for a recession, but if he's right, c'mon, recession!

Quote:
Gundlach said Trump’s re-election chances depend almost entirely on the economy. And just last week, he predicted a 40% to 50% chance of a U.S. recession within the next six months, and a 65% chance of a recession in the next 12 months.

Donny struggles to explain why Obama’s jobs numbers were better than his

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump...152907604.html

Perhaps because Obama wasn’t an idiot, unlike you, Donny?

Indeed, it is not happenstance. Ever heard of the Federal government and its excessive spending and borrowing?

This is suppose to be a counter to Trump's argument re the rising employment figures for minorities.

It's a Trump media noise follower's counter to Trump's BS mastery.

Dow dumps 400 pts as DJTrumplethinskin whines about anything and everything at his posh golf club in Jersey. What a loser. Instead of going to Camp David with it's built in security, this candyass Grifter-in Chief has to carry an expensive army of Secret Service not to mention staff to his private club at exorbitant taxpayer's expense. What a joke the GOP has become.
