US President signed an executive order on Friday, which bans people from seven Muslim-majority nations—Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen—from entering the U.S. for at least 90 days. Mr. President said that order is keep out “radical Islamic terrorists.” This order has made the two leading tech concern.
The Facebook CEO, ‘Mark Zuckerberg’ stood against the decision and defends immigrants threatened by Trump. He posted on Facebook that:
“Like many of you, I’m concerned about the impact of the recent executive orders signed by President Trump.
We need to keep this country safe, but we should do that by focusing on people who actually pose a threat.
We should also keep our doors open to refugees and those who need help.
That said, I was glad to hear President Trump say he’s going to ‘work something out’ for Dreamers — immigrants who were brought to this country at a young age by their parents…over the next few weeks I’ll be working with our team at FWD.us to find ways we can help.
I’m also glad the President believes our country should continue to benefit from ‘people of great talent coming into the country.’
We are a nation of immigrants, and we all benefit when the best and brightest from around the world can live, work and contribute here.”
After Zukerberg, Google Chief Executive Sundar Pichai also criticized the President’s decision. In an email to staff, he mentioned that 187 google employees are affected by the order. He said “We’re upset about the impact of this order and any proposals that could impose restrictions on Googlers and their families, or that could create barriers to bringing great talent to the US,” He asked Trump for mercy on Goolge employees. “It’s painful to see the personal cost of this executive order on our colleagues.” He added.
