It is an exception used to justify the rule. There is a very small percentage that founded companies and the rest are impacting negatively the economy.

Can you expand this line of thinking? Is this also true for other OECD members that aggressively pursue immigration as an economic growth strategy?

If you import cheap labor, you hit your economy by lowering the wages in that sector. When you have immigration, there are a few very top talents and a lot of average people coming, the average ones are not a net benefit in most cases. In US migrants don't create huge problems of integration and culture clashes, in Western Europe there are problems with that so the overall impact is negative.

		`> If you import cheap labor` How do you define "cheap labor"? What is your max annual income? What happens if you import middle class and above labour? In the USA, I assume this is about 75 USD per year salary.
