While the United States is still battling it out about what to do with the myriad of immigrants that cross the border, flying some to New England and bussing others to random locations, immigrants are busy doing business in found countries around the globe. Interestingly, the United Kingdom has a very different take on immigrants. Rather than being shuffled around or used as political pawns, the immigrants in the UK are shaping the local and federal government, and also making a name for themselves on the list of wealthiest people. This interesting phenomenon is changing the way people do business in the United Kingdom and beyond. And it also begs the question: When someone emigrates to a country, what can they and their ancestors do down the line to shape the country in which they land?
A Prime Minister With Roots in India
The immigration sensation starts at the top, with Rishi Sunak a descendant of Indian immigrants. Recently coming to power as the third Prime Minister in the United Kingdom in two months, he has his work cut out for him amid economic and political turmoil, especially after the damage done by Liz Truss and Boris Johnson. His experience as a hedge fund manager will serve him well in this role, but it will take a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to right the ship that has been abandoned by Truss.
