The new 'railroads' of today is the internet, and the speed of travel and communication it now allows for transcontinental business. "Immigrants are only an eighth of America’s population, but a quarter of the engineering and technology firms started there between 1995 and 2005 had an immigrant founder, according to Vivek Wadhwa of Duke University." This may come as no surprise to us as university students, but this article also cites that immigrants have the advantage of "creativity" because of "their ability to enroll collaborators both far-off and nearby."
