America didn't do immigration policies well: JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon
America has not done immigration policies well, JPMorgan Chase Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon said, voicing support for merit-based immigration.
America is indispensable. It's not indispensable because we're better. It's indispensable because (we have) the best military in the world, the most prosperous nation in the world, the best economy in the world, the best technology, the roots of that technology, the freedoms we have. It's what brought people here, Dimon said.
His remarks came during a conversation with Databricks CEO and Co-founder Ali Ghodsi at the Data + AI Summit 2025 in San Francisco last week.
Dimon added that "America's role is indispensable. That role is economic, it's military, it's education, it's allowing people to come here, want to stay here, like more merit-based, which we should be doing. That's the most important thing." He recalled that his grandparents were Greek immigrants who never went to high school.
Dimon said he has a list of policies that America didn't do well.
We don't do mortgage policies well, we didn't do immigration policies well, we don't do affordable housing policies wellwe don't teach work skills properly, he said.
People come here to be Americans, and it's the natural thing, freedom of speech and freedom of enterprise and freedom, he added.
His comments came at a time when the Trump administration has intensified its crackdown on immigration, particularly on illegal immigrants.
Responding to a question on China and US leadership, he said that American military leadership is critical to the health of the future free and democratic world.
He added that America should be a technological leader, saying that you do not want to give China the nano chips that can make their supersonic missiles better. He added that when China wants to do something, they put 50,000 engineers on it.

Crypto, camo and karaoke: Trump's military parade surprised everyone and impressed no one
A parade... sponsored? Live Events Critics see political theatre, not tribute The online verdict: 'It's lame' Supporters defend the event Tanks, but no thanks Trump's military week raises questions (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel In Washington D.C., what was expected to be a grand military display instead resembled a modest Fourth of July celebration. Tanks rolled in. Soldiers marched. But it rained. The crowds were thin. And the energy, by many accounts, was to mark the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary—and, coincidentally, Donald Trump's 79th birthday—the parade was meant to be a show of force and patriotism. Instead, it became a battleground of narratives, playing out both in the streets and across social units paraded by on Constitution Avenue, a narrator's voice gave brief histories of each division. That same voice paused regularly for sponsor mentions.'With thanks to our sponsor, Lockheed Martin ,' it said, following a tribute to the 1st Cavalry Division. Coinbase and an energy drink company linked to UFC's Dana White also made the list. The latter handed out free cans marked 'screamin' freedom.'Corporate branding of military honour left many unsettled. 'This is the kind of thing that Stalin would have done. This is the kind of thing North Korea does. It sickens me that we're putting on this display just for one man's ego,' said Donna Stork, 73, from Maryland, protesting the the sponsorships and staging, many took issue with what they saw as the politicisation of the used the event to project strength, declaring, 'If you threaten the American people, our soldiers are coming for you. Your defeat will be certain, your demise will be final, and your downfall will be total and complete.''Because our soldiers never give up, never surrender, and never, ever quit. They fight, fight, fight—and they win, win, win,' he veterans attended in good faith. 'I retired from the Army 30 years ago and I came to honour all the people that came before me, all the friends that I've lost,' said Van Beal, 70, who first joined the Army in others questioned the motives. A marching army parade timed with the President's birthday felt wrong to protester displayed an eight-foot statue of Trump sitting on a toilet, declaring, 'This is the only throne fit for this King.' The event ran parallel to nationwide 'No Kings Day' protests, held in nearly 2,000 towns and cities to oppose Trump's growing use of the spectacle unfolded, X (formerly Twitter) was flooded with criticism.'Trump's parade is boring,' one user wrote. Another raged: 'The camera often pans to the ground for no reason. And the marching soldiers are not in step at all. Nobody seems to give a damn.'Others noted that advertising for Trump-branded watches ran alongside the march. 'Trump wasted money for the world to see that Americans can't pull off a proper military parade,' said one angry alleged, 'Trump puts an ad out on Craigslist to pay people to sit in the bleachers for his lame military parade.'Not everyone Scott, a Trump supporter from Dallas, said, 'You're a part of the tired media. We are exhausted with you. We love hearing that you personally think that Donald Trump is North Korea's dictator. You're insane, not me.'Inside the security cordon, around 250 elite Trump donors sang Happy Birthday to the President. Outside, protest signs read: 'Electile Dysfunction,' 'Turd Reich,' and 'They're eating the checks, they're eating the balances.'A World War II Sherman tank was among the few heavy military assets on display. It squeaked slowly past silent bleachers, its ageing wheels louder than the some, the moment was symbolic. 'A perfect metaphor for Trump and MAGA's hollow pageantry,' one commentator parade came after a turbulent week. Trump sent troops to Los Angeles to suppress what officials called 'minor' protests. At Fort Bragg, he gave a partisan speech, attacking political rivals while flanked by uniformed blending of military imagery with political messaging deepened concerns. Critics argued the parade was less about honouring service and more about bolstering Trump's personal for some veterans and loyalists, it was a moment to recognise military history—even if the crowd was small, the execution uneven, and the applause outside the embassy: 'Where is Asim Munir?'Away from the birthday bash, Pakistani Americans gathered outside their embassy in Washington. They were protesting the alleged secret visit of Pakistan's Army Chief, General Asim White House insisted no foreign dignitaries had been invited to the parade. Yet protesters remained convinced.'Where is Pakistan Embassy hiding Asim Munir?' one flyer read. Activists labelled him the 'Butcher of Islamabad,' accusing him of constitutional violations and human rights vans circled the city with messages denouncing Munir. Meanwhile, pro-Munir billboards appeared in Times Square, fuelling speculation that he was indeed in the event captured a growing polarisation in the was meant to celebrate two historic milestones—the Army's founding and a former President's birthday—ended up sparking fierce protests, digital mockery, and questions about the military's role in the end, there were fireworks. Lee Greenwood sang. And Trump stood with Melania, smiling as the sky lit up. But beneath the surface, the country felt anything but united.

Also, during my first term, Serbia and Kosovo were going at it hot and heavy, as they have for many decades, and this long-time conflict was ready to break out into war. I stopped it (Biden has hurt the longer-term prospects with some very stupid decisions, but I will fix it, again!)," he wrote on Truth case is Egypt and Ethiopia, and their fight over a massive dam that is having an effect on the magnificent Nile River. There is peace, at least for now, because of my intervention, and it will stay that way! Likewise, we will have peace, soon, between Israel and Iran! Many calls and meetings are now taking place.
