Praise for Immigrant, Inc.: Why Immigrant Entrepreneurs Are Driving the New Economy (and how they will save the American worker)
"...well researched, wonderfully written, and a fun, fast read. Like The Millionaire Next Door (by Stanley & Danko), Robert Smith and Richard Herman wowed readers with stories of extraordinary people doing extraordinary things, and in the process, they are also creating a more diverse, vibrant and colorful America. A page turner--I couldn't put it down."
--Loung Ung, author of First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers and Lucky Child
"We've all heard of the entrepreneurial power of modern-day immigrants to America. But this book goes further."
--Neal Peirce, Columnist, The Washington Post, nationally syndicated writer
"A passionate, persuasive case for immigration as a crucial investment in our country's future. This book is a timely call for clear thinking and positive action."
--Charles Michener, author and former Senior Editor at The New Yorker and Newsweek
"Unfortunately, with the economic downturn, xenophobia is building and political clouds of nativism are swirling in Washington, DC. This book couldn't have come at a more timely moment. I hope that all policymakers read this."
--Vivek Wadhwa, columnist, BusinessWeek, researcher, Harvard Law School and Duke University, former high-tech entrepreneur
"A rare and insightful look into the culture of immigrant entrepreneurship. Written with love, sensitivity, and the promise of what immigrants contribute to our great American society."
--Alex Machaskee, former publisher and CEO, The Plain Dealer, Chairman of International Orthodox Christian Charities
"Let's hope this book's captivating stories and meaningful insights move policymakers to re-light Lady Liberty's beacon."
