It would be useful for successful for the tech companies start by 1st or 2nd generation immigrants to speak up.

I think the list includes (but I could be wrong):

Apple

Google

Facebook

Amazon

Oracle

IBM

Uber

Yahoo

EMC

eBay

AT&T

Tesla

Reddit

And, of course, ycombinator.

There's not a lot of illegal immigrants in any sector save for low wage agricultural and services (e.g. kitchens). Certainly not in tech. This distinction isn't needed.
