How do foreigners start businesses so easily?

Hard work, it's that simple. Unlike the woke leftists who simply complain about racism and their ****ty jobs because they studied African transgender Literature.

I see a lot of resentment in this thread but it is a hard life. My parents were immigrants. My dad worked as a busboy, bellhop, and various low paid jobs and my mom worked as a seamstress, for many years before they could own their own business. And it was not just their business- my aunt and uncle had to pool their money with them together. And we didn't own the property, only the business. And we all had to live together in a house that was rented. We lived very frugally. There were no presents, no vacation, no eating out. For most of my younger childhood I barely ever saw my dad because he started working before I woke up and came home after I went to bed. Before we owned the business, there were times when we had no food to eat. I went to school with holes in my clothes, and wore old clothes that didn't fit me. So it's not like we just owned a business overnight. That business represents years of work and living frugally with bare necessities. It's money that came from pooling it together with relatives. It's living together in cramped quarter's with minimum heat in the winter and no air conditioning in the summer. And we kids were expected to help out after school everyday. That life sucked.

The only resentment you experienced is from small minded people whom are jealous of your successes. YOU likely came from a Country that offered zero opportunity for your family. Because of this, and the opportunities afforded your family, you flourished. This is wonderful. It's the AMERICAN dream to succeed, overcoming obstacles. You having an intact family gives you strength that cannot be counted in dollars. It's just your culture that you stick together. This is good.

They're only resentful because your family is achieving the American dream in 30-40 years, where it's taken them 200, AND THEY STILL AREN'T THERE YET.
