To the Editor:

Immigrants to this country might find a somewhat different future awaiting them than did their predecessors.

True, there always will be opportunities for the entrepreneur, but they continue to dwindle in number. Forget about home-building, as any resurrection of this industry appears years distant. And the small, cottage businesses that started in one’s garage, then moved to an industrial park or strip mall, seem a thing of the past. One only has to drive by a commercial area to witness the fading signs advertising a property for rent.
