With their high level of educational attainment and a median family income 20 percent higher than the national US average, Iranian-Americans contribute substantially to the U.S. economy.
Through surveys of Fortune 500 companies and other major corporations, the researchers identified more than 50 Iranian-Americans in senior leadership positions at companies with more than $200 million in asset value, including General Electric, AT&T, Verizon, Intel, Cisco, Motorola, Oracle, Nortel Networks, Lucent Technologies , and eBay.
Fortune magazine ranks Iranian Born Pierre Omidyar, founder and chairman of the board of eBay , the wildly popular online auction company, as the second richest American entrepreneur under age 40 with an estimated wealth of over seven billion dollars.
Iranian-Americans are also prominent in academia. According to a preliminary list compiled by ISG, there are more than 500 Iranian-American professors teaching and doing advanced research at top-ranked U.S. universities, including MIT, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Carnegie Mellon, the University of California system (Berkeley, UCLA, etc.), Stanford, the University of Southern California, Georgia Tech, University of Wisconsin, University of Michigan, University of Illinois, University of Maryland, California Institute of Technology, Boston University, George Washington University, and hundreds of other universities and colleges throughout the United States .
Iranians have achieved a high level of success in the United States because unlike many immigrants, most left their homeland for social, political, or religious reasons, rather than in search of economic opportunity. The two large waves of immigrants who came to the United States because of the 1979 revolution in Iran consisted mainly of people with education and assets, he notes.
"These were people who could make it to the U.S. and sustain themselves in the U.S. It was a pre-selection, not your typical immigration where people come mainly for financial reasons," he said.
In another recently issued report, the Iranian Studies Group has undertaken the mission of convincing Iranian-Americans to become more active participants in the American political process. According to surveys in some major cities, fewer than 10 percent voted in the last presidential election.
The report cites the experiences of other ethnic groups, such as Israeli-Americans, Arab-Americans, and Cuban-Americans, to show how Iranians could use their collective voice to influence U.S. foreign policy regarding Iran and address the needs of the Iranian-American community.

Accidents of history, really. Certainly not thanks to the culture that you and your conservative brethren here have adopted. If the likes of you and Mr. P had their way, there would be no one with an accent -- let alone anyone not identifiably northern European -- in the country. Note that there are other European nations with cultural attitudes quite comparable to the English but which have not cultivated immigrants for reasons of history.noddy wrote:you spend the most time attacking britain and america, yet they are the only 2 countries on the planet which allow foreigners to thrive.

Europe was governed by Christian law for more than a thousand dark years. It was the secular atheists who brought us the moral law we live by today.

i cannot extract any information from this sentance - it seems a tad absurd at first reading.Note that there are other European nations with cultural attitudes quite comparable to the English but which have not cultivated immigrants for reasons of history.
bigger GDP and more '1 in a million inventors' means better dick waving on the country comparison charts - it doesnt mean better quality of lifestyle for the rest of the population.As it stands now, enough Americans are immigrants or descendants of recent arrivals that the nativists are impotent in the long-term. The borders will certainly not remain shut beyond a Trump presidency. However, the damage this will do to America's reputation may be irreparable. The US lacks the native-born talent to power its engines of innovation and there is certainly no appetite in the Trump administration to cultivate the values and institutions that could change this

Correction, you meant to say "Catholic Church".Zack Morris wrote: Europe was governed by Christian law for more than a thousand dark years.
You meant to say "Protestants". Protestants. Secular atheists don't even believe in morality or law.It was the secular atheists who brought us the moral law we live by today.
I know. The election returns have been terrible.All you monotheists are going to the same place: the ash heap of history.
That much is clear.Heracleum Persicum wrote: MP, must admit, have zero knowledge about religion
Not really, no. Jesus expressly came to teach jews that stoning, no longer necessary, and can turn the cheeck. Very big part of New Testament. Law of Moses no longer necessary. Christian 101. In Jummy Carter bible, AND pope bible. Same thing.Was "Bible" Jimmy Carter holding in hand entering Oval Office every morning a different Bible from the original (the one Pope holds) ? .. do we have 2 Toras and 2 Bibles ? New & Classic (like Coke) ? ?
There is only one Bible and Torah and all those weird things in them .. if you need can past a few real funny stuff included in them.
"Reform" means : no cherry picking .. better not following what's written in those 2 books at all.
Lol, only one chopping off heads and sending children with suicide vest. Only one.Religious weirdos and fanatics exists in all religions
If you say so. All head chopping and suicide vest, coming from one place... don't forget, # 1 most religious nation on earth is America, # 2 is India .. Middle Eastern people including Syrians are more secular than most westerners.
Could be. I'm for Milo Doctrine, don't support McCain Graham obama.Those who doing all those nasty things are McCain, Graham and Lieberman's "freedom fighters", the Wahhabi Saudi and Tunisian and Algerian who West armed to kill the Syrian secular Christians and Assad seculars .. those 20,000 Toyota's ISIS parading bought by US, paid by Qatar/Saudi, delivered via Turkey (under NATO supervision).
True enough.Until uncle PUTIN said NIET .. thanks G_D .. Trump has it right
yup, he already won. We just had election, Trump beat those guys. He beat all of them.Trump fighting ISIS means Trump must fight McCain & Graham (and Lieberman)
obama freedom fighters. We just beat obama, so problem solved.Those Syrian refugee running away from McCain & Graham freedom fighters.
I've posted nothing but rock solid facts.Get your facts B4 distorting them.
