They and the children they
bear account for 60 percent of our nation’s population growth, own 11 percent
of US businesses, and are 60 percent more likely to start a new business than
native-born Americans. In fact, forty percent of Fortune 500 companies were
started by an immigrant or a child of an immigrant, creating 10 million jobs
and seven out of ten top brands in our country.

More importantly, the vast majority of these
human beings—both legal and undocumented—come to improve their lives and create
a foundation of success for their children to build upon, bringing skills and a
willingness to work hard to make their dreams a reality, something our founders
did four hundred years ago.

However, most struggle in their efforts and
need guidance in Anytown, USA. Perhaps intelligent immigration reform, White
House/Congress and business/labor cooperation, concerned citizens and
informative books can extend a helping hand, the same unwavering hand, lest we
forget, that has been the anchor and lighthouse of American values for four
hundred years.

A new award-winning worldwide book/ebook
that helps immigrants and minorities and is endorsed by ambassadors, educators,
and editors: “What Foreigners Need To Know About America From A To Z: How
to Understand Crazy American Culture, People, Government, Business, Language
and More.”

Here’s a closing quote from the book’s
Intro: “With all of our cultural differences though, you’ll be surprised to
learn how much…we as human beings have in common on this little third rock from
the sun. After all, the song played at our Disneyland parks around the world is
‘It’s A Small World After All.’ Peace.”
