The country’s biggest tech companies filed a legal brief late Sunday in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals opposing President Donald Trump’s executive order on immigration – also known as the immigration ban. Apple, Google, Facebook, and over 90 other companies have filed this amicus brief.
“Ninety-seven companies, from Apple Inc. to Zynga Inc., filed an impassioned legal brief condemning President Donald Trump’s executive order on immigration, stepping up the industry’s growing opposition to the policy,” Bloomberg reported on Monday. Last week, reports had indicated that the industry was considering to send a joint letter to the President opposing his immigration ban. In this letter – leaked last week – the industry had emphasized the importance of immigrants in the economy.
Bloomberg added that while the companies had originally planned to file the brief later this week, they “accelerated efforts over the weekend after other legal challenges to the order.”
President Trump had issued an executive order on January 27, imposing a 90-day ban affecting travelers from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen and a 120-day ban on all refugees. On Friday, a federal judge put a temporary nationwide block on the order after other legal challenges.
Not only do these companies hire legals AND illegals OVER AMERICANS but they fund politicians who offer to keep the doors open - wide open..
They want cheap H-1b labor
Globalists all!
The USA under Trump and Russia under Putin constitute the only serious opposition to globalist forces.
Any sane person will stand with the USA and Russia against the globalist elites.
Globalism could be properly described as global communism with a ruling corporate elite controlling billions of peons.
I want no part of it! :-(
Trump understands all of this, please pray for this wonderful man’s safety as he is our only hope. We are in a very precarious spot.
Trump came into this fight knowing that he was going to handle an American bankruptcy. I’m glad he is the one that will guide us through the coming global financial disruption.
We have enormous debts that cannot be repaid...thus we face a looming default. Trump won’t IMO take us down the road of hyper-inflation. I think he will end the Fed and issue a new
currency. You could swap existing fiat dollars for the new currency inside the US and default on all external fiat dollars.
It will mean war. I’m just glad that it’s Trump at the helm and not the murderous criminal Hillary..she would go with the hyper-inflation/globalist plan.
It’s coming, prepare yourself physically and spiritually.
So what part of Silicon Valley/tech industry remains with us? They seem to betray Americans at every chance they get.
There is a name i was expecting to be on that list.
Disney.
Its a known fact Disney was forcing its American workers to train foreign workers to replace them.
Of all things considered right now in America its the fact that Americans need jobs, not foreign workers, shut the H1B down President Trump!
I guess it’s just a coincidence, and not a conspiracy, that every one of these companies recently had a big meeting with the DNC where they planned on how to take out Trump.
Nice.
Yup, Disney has morphed into an evil globalist monster.
They still manage to put out some wonderful product now and then but they are evil.
Trump should start calling them all out and labeling them as evil globalists.... he needs to define this for the public.
It’s free nationalists vs globalists.
The Evil goes deep and wide. Swamp is as big as Texas.
I sincerely hope Trump has thought that out.
If it happens i would support him.
Seems as if they are only keeping Americans as their pet purchasers. We exist to buy their crap.
This is exactly what got EU countries into their present condition. They have been importing cheap labor for years. Mostly from Turkey. Their natives don’t reproduce and demand high wages.
Merkel figured the Immigrants could work all those low wage jobs. Problem is the ones arriving don’t want to work. They want to leech and then dominate. If Merkel has grandchildren she may live to see them scrubbing floors for their Moslem overlords.
Surprise surprise... The oligarchs and monopolists side with open borders and the end of America.
Blue collar working Reagan Democrats from the Rust Belt and the Tea Party to really devastate the Leftists Democrat party in the 2018 election....
Lou Dobbs mentioned the new party....formed from the remains of the old Republican party.
These Hi tech firms,...many on the wast coast have now been exposed regarding their serious abuse of the H1B program for highly skilled workers from oversea....
Do any of those 7 countries turn out high skilled workers....
I wouldn't think so!
The Federal Judge in Washington is helping Trump point it out ....and the Media that hates Trump....
Democrat donors
#13...... bingo
Wow, you been a busy little beaver with this issue/strong cause!!! Congratulations!!! Keep up the good work!!!
Please don't mention Uber without mentioning Lyft. They gifted the ACLU (American Commonist Liberation Union) $1,000,000 that they separated from their drivers/riders fares without authorization or fair notice!!!
It's all based on a disgustingly deliberate misrepresentation to say the least!!!
Cheap labor express still wants to screw the average American.
Time to quit investing in these companies all around.
I know it will not be easy, but it has to happen.
