(ILC) to pay tribute to 61 immigrants who made significant contributions to the U.S. economy and to highlight the importance of immigrant entrepreneurs to the prosperity of the country. The announcement was made during a tele-briefing hosted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Immigration Policy Center of the American Immigration Council about the newly released paper “Immigrant Entrepreneurs: Creating Jobs and Strengthening the Economy.” The Hall of Fame can be viewed at http://www.ilctr.org/promoting-immigrants/immigrant-entrepreneur-hof. Diane Portnoy, president and CEO of The Immigrant Learning Center, Inc., said about the launch, “We created the Immigrant Entrepreneur Hall of Fame to shine a light on the contribution immigrants have made to America. Many Americans do not realize that the products and services they rely on every day would not exist without the hard work and ingenuity of immigrants.” Immigrants have always been more likely than the native-born to be self-employed, as documented in every economic census since 1880. Today, immigrant-founded businesses are represented in every industry and size of business throughout the United States. They create jobs, generate tax revenue and provide valuable goods and services.
