42 per cent of all startups in California are founded by immigrants: Gov Newsom
WASHINGTON: As many as 42 per cent of all startups in California are founded by immigrants who are the lifeblood of the Golden State, its Governor Gavin Newsom told a group of eminent Indian Americans at a fundraiser.
Newsom, a senior Democratic Party leader, made these remarks in Massachusetts on Monday.
“Fourty-two per cent of all startups in California are founded by immigrants, and they are the lifeblood of our state. Amid the vitriol, xenophobia, and nativism that permeates much of our politics, particularly from figures like Donald Trump, we in California have endured and emerged stronger,” Newsom said at a fundraiser in Massachusetts.
