Is Bill Gates a second generation immigrant? Wikipedia says both his parents were born in the US .

What, that is all of 6 companies? Not exactly a huge sample. Especially considering the addition of "or their children." Like you could just keep adding generations until you hit all 6 (or add other qualifiers until then).

In 2018, a quarter of the American population was first or second generation immigrants: https://www.pewresearch.org/hispanic/2020/08/20/facts-on-u-s...

For reference (from 2013, but still), 13% of the US population were first-generation immigrants and 12% were second-generation.

I fact-checked three and for all three this wasn't accurate. This seems either poorly researched or just outright fictional.

Flagged the thread for both low quality and potentially misinformation.

These arguments for immigration may be correct, but they contain an implicit negative assertion about Americans. People say we need immigrants to do hard and dirty work like picking strawberries that “Americans won’t do.” We need immigrants to do difficult work like being scientists and engineers that “Americans can’t do.” We need immigrants, because “Americans aren’t having children.” What does that say about Americans? Within a couple of generations steeped in American culture, people apparently become unwilling (or much less willing) to work hard, to enter difficult professions that require a lot of study, and to take on the burdens of being parents. Seems to me like what these folks are saying is that American culture is only sustainable insofar is it’s subsidized by foreigners raised outside American culture.
