This book of inspiring stories, interwoven with powerful

research,

explores the culture of “Immigrant, Inc.” — a culture of entrepreneurship, education, family and thrift. Richard Herman, an immigration attorney, and Robert Smith, a journalist, each married to an immigrant, call upon America to embrace these job-creators and to “think think like an immigrant.” This book will forever change the immigrant way you look at immigrants . . . . and America. ________________________________________________________________________________________
