Speaking at the Milken Institute Global Conference held at the Beverly Hilton, the hedge fund billionaire said that several senior execs at his $26 billion firm are immigrants.
"They came here for their education, they put down roots here, and this is where they had their families and careers," Griffin said at the Milken conference on May 1. "They're incredibly driven."
"I am terrified because our entire country is built on the work ethic of immigrants," Griffin added.
