At a recent fundraiser in Massachusetts, California Governor Gavin Newsom emphasized the significant role immigrants play in the state's startup ecosystem:
"Fourty-two per cent of all startups in California are based by immigrants, and they're the lifeblood of our state. Amid the vitriol, xenophobia, and nativism that permeates a lot of our politics, notably from figures like Donald Trump, we in California have endured and emerged stronger."
