Close to this and i feel the pain from a business prospective and personal prospective. Itself reason i came to the u. S. It was very attractive in order to start a business. Innovation was here and the only area that is looking really bad from anybodys prospective is the immigration law. Thats the only thing we need to tweak. Thank you very much alexander thank you. Were going to move on. My immigration story is similar to a lot of entrepreneurs. I came to the United States to pursue a masters in technology. I love my experience being part of the Education System and getting a masters and learning from people who were innovating things themselves and teaching students how to do. Being able to be there and being able to be a part of this is incredible. I moved to the valley area to an internship here. My very first job was a start up. Trying to take an idea it was so inspiring. Being able to experience that desired me to start my own business. I came over on the student visa and workin
Contributing to the economy i like to give the example of football. Imagine the 49ers and were going to be playing with another team but what if it is other team had 13 or fourteen people. We have to see the u. S. As a team are the other countries and were limiting the team on the field and if canada is allowing their team to to compete against us. To not allow the 49ers to come to the game is not making sense. You want to have the largest team i can in order to beat the competition and so i have this commercial in their head. All those comments immigrants are lazy and taking our jobs. Imagine the same comments have been made as each immigration wave like the italians and now the mexicans but somehow theyve contributed to society and were growing because when you take a diversity of ideas they dont take your jobs. Somebody said that the way we have today, the system we have a help wanted sign on one side and on the other side we have a bored with guns. Let me build on that then because

Let me build on that then because again, the vote in the senate is happening we believe its going to be successful. The real battle is in the house. So lets talk about the battle in the house. Without naming names a group of 80 executives met with the house and quote were going to take care of you high terence votes but who cares who picks the strawberries. Well, i like strawberries i dont see a lot of american born folks who pick strawberries. We do care we want to see expensive immigration remorseful for all of americans and all americans.

Our first kwes question was to draw out comprehensive stories. The next will be very active among our panel. Because one of the common arguments we hear outside of San Francisco in Silicon Valley is they take away the american jobs what would you say. Think lightning rod. Mayor lee how do you respond to critics first of all, youve got to look at the real data and the institute is did the studies when youve got the talent with the people of high degrees we want to retain here youll find with Technology Jobs there are 4 other local jobs that are sustained.

And did we get from 9. 6 percent in unemployment to 5. 2 its because of youre great leadership. Thank you carl but its because this fact is very true. Along with one job comes others its valuable to our tourism and the labor unions know this thats why their backing up this. They know the jobs are being created becaus
