I'm all for increased immigration for skilled professionals, but slide 87 is mendacious at best. For example, Woz co-founded Apple; why isn't he listed along with Jobs? Same with Larry Page. Worst of all, Intel was founded by Noyce, Moore and Arthur Rock; Andy Grove was an early employee, yet he's listed as the sole founder.
The title is "60% of Top 25 Tech Companies Founded By 1st & 2nd Generation Americans = 1.3MM Employees, 2012". It was created to support a thesis (immigrants found highly successful companies at a higher rate than their share of the population suggests), but it presents an incomplete data set. Either the authors are naive and didn't understand how misleading the chart was, or they chose to structure it that way to support their agenda. It's so wildly misleading that it makes the rest of their "data" suspect.
It's also curious that Jobs is listed as a second-generation American. While his birth father was Syrian, Jobs certainly didn't identify as Syrian-American.
