Well, there's heavy survivorship bias in the linked article, which talks about 582 startups founded in the US that are worth $1 billion.

Meanwhile, another comment here noted that there are about 45 million immigrants currently residing in the US. Only a tiny number of those are founders of the aforementioned startups. The article says nothing about how immigrants are doing overall financially compared to native born US citizens.

That’s fair. But it’s worth pointing out that there are some extremely successful immigrant groups in America. Ukrainians come to mind.
