It's undeniably both. Intel, Google, and PayPal were all founded by immigrants, as are thousands of small businesses in this country. And yes, these companies are largely founded and operated in larger urban areas that also attract immigrants. A win-win, as it were.
I live in a county (Montgomery County, MD) that has 4 of the most diverse communities in the entire country and in a region that has the 8 of the 20 wealthiest counties in the nation. This is not happenstance.
