Summary/Abstract: Over the past 250 years, the United States has welcomed immigrants and refugees from around the world – creating a melting pot of diversity that has disproportionally influenced American inventions, culture, music, and food. US refugees and immigrants to the United States have produced some of the most important inventions in modern history – Sergey Brin (the co-founder of Google) (Redding, 2018), Jawed Karim and Steve Chen (YouTube), Jacob Davis and Levi Strauss (Blue jeans), David Lindquist (Elevator) (Semuels, 2017), and Albert Einstein (photoelectric effect, nuclear energy (Isaacson, 2007). Between 1880 and 1940, immigrants produced 19.6% of inventions in the United States. Today, immigrants make an incredible impact on modernday technology and account for 30% of all inventions (Akcigit et al., 2017).
