Forbes magazine, a conservative business publication, is trolling the administration.
It's running a feature called "Forbes 250: America's Most Successful Living Immigrants."
Forbes Is Making a Statement About Immigrants
The List
Arnold Schwarzenegger is first on the list. Elon Musk is second.
Here's the thing: Forbes has never run this feature before. But it's running it now when we have an extremely anti-immigration administration.
Why Now?
Why are they doing this?
Because immigrants are good. Immigrants are great.
Most importantly: Immigrants are not the problem.
The Reality
Immigrants have been essentially banned from the USA. The population is declining for the first time in living memory. And yet our problems are getting worse and worse.
This mirrors what we're seeing with how trade policy is backfiring on the economy, where policy decisions meant to strengthen the country may be having the opposite effect.
What's Next
Maybe immigrants are the solution to our problems? You decide!
The bottom line? Forbes is highlighting something important here. Successful immigrants have built companies, created jobs, and contributed enormously to America's economy and culture.
As we face the job market disruption AI is creating and other challenges ahead, it's worth asking: are we pushing away the very people who could help solve them?
