The American Dream, realized | Alan Smolinisky

His father swept floors for a dollar an hour, listening to Dodgers games on the radio to learn English. Now, Alan Smolinisky, co- owner of the Dodgers, is honoring his father’s legacy.

----------------------------------------------------
Alan Smolinisky’s parents came to the U.S. from Argentina with little money but boundless hope. His dad got a job his second day, knocking on every door in the garment district until he was handed a broom, and learned English by listening to legendary Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully on the radio he bought.
The son he brought to watch games now owns the team; perhaps not surprising, given that almost half of American Fortune 500 companies were founded by immigrants or their children, who also founded over a quarter of all U.S. small businesses.
It’s little wonder, then, that Smolinisky works with Stand Together to help amplify his mission to show how everyone benefits from welcoming people to our country who will contribute to making it better.

Sure but i gave up on the american dream, coming from algeria seems like more tougher than coming from south america

You’d be surprised. I was told of some Algerian lady who now teaches French at the local middle school. Came to the US with barely any English but is now making very good money as a French teacher.
