It isn’t a new idea – I have covered it a few times in the past – but as time goes on, the policies of the US government – in both parties really, has been extremely unfriendly to immigrant entrepreneurs. The argument is that these workers will take away jobs from Americans but the reality is many startups are founded by the best and brightest foreign-born workers who come to the US either to go to college or expressively to get a piece of the American dream.

TechCrunch has more on why Silicon Valley Entrepreneurs are returning home – and at a time when joblessness is so high, forcing job creators to leave the US while so many countries are actively pursuing/recruiting these people makes even less sense.
