yes it is 100% true, how do you think we got so many shops that dont speak our language, that dont know our laws, that cant even follow our laws.
they got the break then passed it down and started spreading the wealth back to there home towns.

Sorry, but it's not true. That is a very hoary old urban legend. There may be tax breaks available for certain kinds of businesses, but those breaks are available regardless of the businessperson's immigration or citizenship status.
Many immigrants open businesses in the US because they want to do well and they have trouble getting jobs for more than minimum wage. So they pool all the money they have, live very cheaply, work extremely hard, put in endless hours, their kids also work after school and on weekends, their parents work, they grow and expand as quickly as they can, and they finally can relax a little when they finally feel secure.
Home-grown Americans are just as successful if they want to work that hard and sacrifice so much comfort. But most don't.

I have never heard this, but it is amazing how many people from these 'poor' countries can come here and come up with the money to buy a franchise and have a nice business.
