Allow foreign-born startup founders to start their businesses in the United States http://startupvisa.com/

Created by A.A. on September 24, 2011

"US immigration policies are forcing foreign-born startup founders with venture capital and employees out of the country, effectively sending thousands of high paying knowledge jobs overseas for no reason. The foreign-born founders would much rather be here contributing jobs, taxes, and innovation to the United States of America. The situation now is hurting our competitive edge in the global economy."

I personally know more than 5 entrepreneurs who were forced to leave the United States for lack of a Visa despite having well funded business. Bloody reverse-brain-drain is what this is.

For the USA not to allow them to generate their wealth here and provide these jobs to Americans is simply offensive. In general, disallowing people with the will to come to America is unAmerican.
