An Irish immigrant who came to the U.S. on a student visa, Collison is a consistent public advocate for high-skilled immigration. Has said "without immigrants, Silicon Valley is finished" and criticized U.S. immigration policy as something the tech industry succeeds "despite rather than because of." Warned Trump's immigration restrictions were harmful for startups and the broader tech ecosystem.
