Contrary to common political rhetoric, immigration does not represent a zero-sum game in which jobs, services, and resources consumed by immigrants result in fewer resources for taxpayers and working-class citizens.
It’s a fact that immigrants open businesses at higher rates than their U.S.-born counterparts do; many bring large amounts of capital to invest in the U.S. and thus employ many citizens. In the U.S., immigrants are almost twice as likely to become entrepreneurs as native-born U.S. citizens. They also represent 27.5% of the countries’ entrepreneurs but only around 13% of the population.
Highly-skilled immigrants provide knowledge and needed technical help and scientific research to various industry sectors. Low-skilled immigrants decrease the prices we pay for many products and services and thus indirectly subsidize the middle-class in many developed nations. As the debate on immigration continues, here are 25 immigrants who have helped make the world great

16. Friedrich Trump: Donald Trump’s Grandfather
Country of origin: Germany
World-changing idea: Some immigrants are more equal than others
A local council letter from 1905 has been uncovered informing Donald Trump’s grandfather Friedrich Trump – who had become a United States citizen – that he would not be granted his German citizenship back and that he had eight weeks to leave the country or be deported. He also claimed that Trump had illegally left Germany, fleeing military service and failing to notify authorities of his plan to immigrate.
The document on Friedrich Trump’s threatened deportation was found in German state archives and also found several letters from him pleading with authorities to allow him to stay. This one administrative decision seems to have changed the course of history.
In 1885, at age 16, Friedrich Trump emigrated to the United States aboard a steamship and arrived at the Emigrant Landing Depot in New York City. U.S. immigration records list his name as “Friedrich Trumpf” and his occupation as “none.” In May 1904, when he applied in New York for a U.S. passport to travel with his wife and his daughter, he listed his profession as “hotelkeeper.”
Soon after returning, Bavarian authorities determined that Trump had emigrated from Germany to avoid his military service obligations, and he was labeled a draft dodger. On December 24, 1904, the Department of Interior announced an investigation to expel Trump from the country. Officially, they found that he had violated the Resolution of the Royal Ministry of the Interior number 9916, a 1886 law that punished emigration to North America to avoid military service with the loss of German citizenship. For several months, he unsuccessfully petitioned the government to allow him to stay.
He and his family finally returned to New York on June 30, 1905, where Donald Trump’s father, Fred, was born on October 11, 1905, in Queens, New York. It’s ironic that his grandson won the U.S. Presidency running on a campaign that proposed the building of a wall along the southern border and sought to restrict the immigration of Muslims and Mexicans.
17. Adrienne Clarkson: 26th Governor General of Canada
Country of origin: Hong Kong (China)
World-changing idea: Making citizens feel good about themselves and their country
The 26th Governor General of Canada (1999-2005), Adrienne Clarkson is universally acknowledged to have transformed the office during her six years at Rideau Hall and to have left an indelible mark on Canada’s history. Clarkson came to Canada as a refugee in 1942.
Her tenure as Governor-General was remarkable for the considerable attention she brought to the courage of Canada’s Armed Forces and increased vigilance to Canada’s commitment to international peace and security. Her passionate interest in Canada’s North led her to establish the Governor General’s Northern Medal, awarded annually to an individual who has contributed outstandingly to the understanding and development of the North. In particular, her interest in the Aboriginal peoples was remarkable and has helped push the question of native peoples in Canada to the forefront of national discussion.
National Post columnist John Fraser once remarked that she “has the ability, unique among public officials, of making Canadians feel good about themselves and their country.” This talent was recognized by the Blood Tribe of Alberta who adopted her as an honorary chief. Clarkson was given the title “Grandmother of Many Nations.”
18. Indra Nooyi: CEO of PepsiCo
World-changing idea: Shape one of the world’s biggest brands
Country of origin: India
Born in Madras, India, the future CEO of PepsiCo grew up conservative and middle-class, studying physics, chemistry, and math. Her determination to study in the U.S. brought her to Yale University’s Graduate School of Management in 1978. Despite financial aid from Yale, Nooyi worked nights as a receptionist. She went in for interviews wearing a sari because she “had no money to buy clothes.”
She persevered and finished her degree, moving on to the Boston Consulting Group before joining PepsiCo in 1994. Since then, she has been a significant part of reshaping the Pepsi brand, overseeing major acquisitions like Quaker Oats and Tropicana, and was CEO from 2001 to 2018. She moved corporate spending away from junk foods and into healthier alternatives. Nooyi now chairs the board of PepsiCo.

19. Hamdi Ulukaya: Founder Chobani
Country of origin: Turkey
World-changing idea: An immigrant who makes Americans richer
Ulukaya arrived in the USA with nothing and within 10 years was running a Yogurt company worth billions. A few years ago he gave 10% of the company to his employees – worth 100,000’s of dollars for each employee. He also gave $700m to Syrian refugees.
He is the owner, founder, Chairman, and CEO of Chobani, the number one selling strained yogurt brand in the United States. In 1994 Ulukaya traveled from his family dairy farm in a small village in Turkey to America. His original goal was to study English and take a few business courses. On the advice of his father, and with his knowledge of dairy, he started a modest feta-cheese factory in 2002. It was met with moderate success until he decided to take a significant risk in 2005: the purchase of a large, defunct yogurt factory in upstate New York.
With no prior experience in the yogurt business, he persevered and created a yogurt empire valued at over $1 billion in annual sales within the first five years. It became the leading yogurt brand in America by 2011 and the popularity of his Greek-style yogurt had the knock-on effect of sparked the rise in Greek yogurt’s market share – from less than 1% in 2007 to more than 50% in 2018.
20. Zaha Mohammad Hadid: Architect
Country of origin: Iraq
World-changing idea: Redefined the look of global cities

Hadid studied mathematics at the American University of Beirut before moving, in 1972, to London to study at the Architectural Association School of Architecture.
She is best known for liberating architectural geometry through highly expressive, sweeping fluid forms of multiple perspective points and fragmented geometry that evoke the chaos and flux of modern life. A pioneer of parametricism, and an icon of neo-futurism, with a formidable personality, her acclaimed work and ground-breaking forms include the aquatic center for the London 2012 Olympics, the Broad Art Museum in the U.S., and the Guangzhou Opera House in China.
21. Jerry Yang, Founder of Yahoo
Country of origin: Taiwan
World-changing idea: The most widely read news and media website
Yang was born in Taipei in 1968, and his father died two years later. He moved with the rest of his family to San Jose, California when he was eight years old. Upon arriving in America, Yang knew just one word of English: “shoe.”
Despite the daunting disadvantages, Yang excelled in school and attended Stanford, graduating in 1990. He started Yahoo in 1995 and when he stepped down from the company, he had accumulated a net worth of $1.15 billion.
According to Rob Solomon, a venture capitalist, Yang is “a great founder, evangelist, strategist and mentor,” having “created the blueprint for what is possible on the Internet.”
In February 2007, Yang and his wife gave $75 million to Stanford University, their alma mater, $50 million of which went to building the “Jerry Yang and Akiko Yamazaki Environment and Energy Building,” a multi-disciplinary research, teaching and lab building designed with sustainable architecture principles. In September 2017, Yang and Yamazaki pledged $25 million to the Asian Art Museum, the largest donation in the museum’s history.
Yang now funds early-stage technology startups through his venture capital firm AME Cloud Ventures.
22. Charlize Theron: Actress
Country of origin: South Africa
World-changing idea: From African farm to Hollywood glamour
Theron has starred in several major Hollywood films, such as The Devil’s Advocate, The Italian Job, Hancock and Mad Max: Fury Road.
She is from an Afrikaner family, and her ancestry includes Dutch, as well as French and German; her French forebears were early Huguenot settlers in South Africa. She grew up on her parents’ farm in Benoni, near Johannesburg where her father, an alcoholic, physically attacked her mother and threatened both her and her mother while drunk; Theron’s mother shot and killed him. The shooting was legally adjudged to have been self-defense and her mother was acquitted.
At 19, Theron flew to Los Angeles, on a one-way ticket her mother bought her, intending to work in the film industry. During her early months there, she went to a Hollywood Boulevard bank to cash a check her mother had sent to help with the rent. When the teller refused to cash it, Theron engaged in a shouting match with him. On seeing this, talent agent John Crosby, in line behind her, handed her his business card and subsequently introduced her to casting agents and also an acting school. Her Hollywood career was born.
23. Albert Einstein: Genius, Inventor, Scientist, Immigrant
Country of origin: Germany
World-changing idea: The pioneer of modern physics
In February 1933 while on a visit to the United States, Einstein realized he could not return to Germany with the rise to power of the Nazis under Germany’s new chancellor, Adolf Hitler. Later that same year, Einstein discovered that the new German government had passed laws barring Jews from holding any official positions, including teaching at universities.
In the U.K. Einstein met Winston Churchill where he asked for help in bringing Jewish scientists out of Germany. Churchill responded immediately and sent people to Germany to seek out Jewish scientists and place them in British universities. Churchill later observed that as a result of Germany having driven the Jews out, they had lowered their “technical standards” and put the Allies’ technology ahead of theirs. Most Americans were opposed to allowing Jewish refugees in to the US at the time. Imagine if Albert Einstein was not allowed to flee to America.
Einstein became an American citizen in 1940. He expressed his appreciation of the meritocracy in American culture when compared to Europe. He recognized the “right of individuals to say and think what they pleased,” without social barriers, and as a result, individuals were encouraged, he said, to be more creative, a trait he valued from his own early education.
24. Natalie Africa, Senior Director at the U.N.
Country of origin: South Africa
World-changing idea: Nation-building can become global building
Natalie Africa was born and raised in exile in Zambia and Zimbabwe, moving to Geneva in 1989 for a one-year internship at the World Council of Churches. Falling in love with the city’s multilateral buzz and diversity, she decided to study international relations. Her primary professor was Antony Hopkins, who had brilliant courses on British economic imperialism and colonialism in Africa – that stimulated furious class debates while also her interest in finance.
In 1995 she was recruited by South Africa’s Department of Foreign Affairs and posted to Paris as Counsellor for Multilateral Affairs, representing South Africa at UNESCO. She soon understood the problematic, delicate process of nation-building in South Africa.
Africa’s career has since taken her to the UNDP, HSBC and the United Nations Foundation. Since 2014, she has managed private sector engagement for Every Woman Every Child, a global multi-stakeholder movement of the UN Secretary-General aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals.
25. Gail Kelly, Former CEO of Westpac
Country of origin: South Africa
World-changing idea: The highest-paid women in corporate Australia
Kelly became the first female CEO of a major Australian bank in 2005, which also saw her become the highest paid woman in an Australian corporation.
In 1980, Kelly worked as a teller, but was fast-tracked into an accelerated training program at the Nedcor Bank in South Africa. In June 1997, she flew to Sydney where she held interviews with four of the major banks and was appointed to a senior position at the Commonwealth Bank in July 1997. Her performance here led her to be recruited as CEO of St. George Bank where the capitalization of the bank rose by $3 billion from the start of her term as CEO.
