The Wall Street Journal had an article by George Soros entitled ‘Why I’m Inventing $500 Million in Migrants’ today, and it’s sort of interesting.<\/p>\n
No, Soros didn’t promise to pay $500 million in resettlement costs. After the usual blather about the benefits of immigration, in para 5 of the article is the meat: He actually says he’s going to invest $500 million in refugee and migrant\u00a0startup businesses.<\/p>\n
Cool.<\/p>\n
All the investments will be owned by his non-profit, which we think is called Opportunity Fund. Profits will go to the Open Society Foundations.<\/p>\n
We’ll match George, and donate our class fees at the American School of Entrepreneurship(www.theasoe.com). The $99 fee for four startup courses (the A’ones) \u00a0will be waived if a student can prove that he\/she is an immigrant to the US or a migrant\/refugee from somewhere, e.g., Syria. A visa number and date of granting is all we need, and we’ll instruct our webmaster to open up the access to the site.<\/p>\n
And, if an immigrant\/refugee has an ongoing business, we’ll offer four free courses on the ‘E” side of the School.<\/p>\n
We like to see everyone succeed, regardless of where they’re from, and we do hope that other investors match Soros.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
