Institute for Sound Public Policy's Joe Guzzardi on whether Susie
Wiles worries that Miriam Adelson, Robert Bigelow, Walter Buckley,
Betsy DeVos, Julia Koch, Bernie Marcus, Lachlan Murdoch, Thomas
Peterffy, Bruce Rauner, Chris Reyes, David Sacks and Steve Wynn will
permit Ron DeSantis to use their campaign bullhorn to warn legacy
American proles that Donald Trump will sign comprehensive immigration
reform so long as Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell include the magic
words "merit based":

| To determine immigrants' actual contribution to new Silicon Valley
| startups, the Institute for Sound Public Policy dove into the data,
| and found that Lofgren, Anderson, et al, purposely play loose with
| the facts. IfSPP drew its information base from the Fortune 200 list
| of most influential Silicon Valley software and hardware companies,
| as ranked by revenue. Of 66 Silicon Valley startup founders, eight
| were immigrants, or 12 percent. Determining the immigrant
| contribution to the founding of Silicon Valley tech firms means
| allotting them a proportional share in the firm's founding. For
| example, one immigrant among three founders carries a 33 percent
| weight in the calculation. The immigrant share in founding the most
| important tech companies is 10.7 percent. The following companies
| have one immigrant cofounder: Alphabet, Meta, Tesla, Qualcomm, Uber,
| Nvidia, AMD and Texas Instruments.

Will DeSantis invite the likes of Mike Emmons to campaign for an
immigration moratorium as the cure for what ails America?

wouldn't have been the nominee without Trump. You're not gonna see
many interesting candidates like that win primaries without Trump.
You will just get boring moderates like Joe O'Dea." - Scott Greer <URL:https://twitter.com/ScottMGreer/status/1602753453377425409>
