A disproportionate number of foreign-born individuals founded the US chip industry.
Many key CEOs and founders of early and current US chip firms are immigrants.
The industry's international supply chain is efficient, but having more immigrants move to the US would benefit.

Today we’re bringing you an episode on chips. No, not potato chips. Kevin has been pitching an episode on the truly fascinating world of chips and semiconductors for quite a while, but our friends at the The Ezra Klein Show got to it first. This week on Hard Fork: Ezra Klein’s engrossing conversation with historian Chris Miller. It’s a must listen. Thank you to Ezra for beating us in our quest for a great chips episode.
We'll be back with our regularly scheduled tech coverage, with Kevin and Casey next week.
