Migrants more likely to become entrepreneurs

The Centre for Entrepreneurs found that nearly 500,000 people from 155 countries had settled in Britain and launched businesses.
The think tank's chair, Luke Johnson, told 大象传媒 Radio 5 live's Wake Up to Money why he thought migrants should be "celebrated".
"We benefit from all these bright, ambitious people coming here from all over the world."
