Google has recalled around 100 of its affected staff from overseas. Microsoft has warned its shareholders that curbs on immigration could have a material impact on its business.

The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee advised nationals from the affected countries but living in the US not to travel abroad.

[CincyRichieRich]

Too bad, so sad.

[pepsionice]

So they can’t work from home, or via the internet on projects...they have to work from some US address?

Perhaps Google should pack up and leave the US for maybe...well...Germany?

[CGASMIA68]

Grandstanding..means nothing

[Makana]

Maybe Google could offer software development scholarships to trade schools, community colleges, and inner city colleges to develop homegrown workers.

Google loses all that great talent from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Somalia and Libya.

Who'd a thunk?

[Reno89519]

Hope all are blocked at the border and all H1B and L1 visas and green cards from these countries, actually from everyone, are rescinded and people kept out or kicked out. Period.

Here is more on this, which I noted a few minutes ago in another thread: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/01/28/google-calls-staffers-back-to-us-after-trump-order-on-immigration-report-says.html

Bonus, Bilderbergers will have more trouble fomenting unrest in the middle east?

[major-pelham]

This is #FakeNews - if they’re citizens and they’re there, they got there with US Passports and will use the same passports to come home. Crock of bull. As an aside, Google has employees in Libya that are from the USA? Really?

[SharpRightTurn]

“Google has told the BBC it is concerned about the order and any measures which could block great talent from the US.”

“Great talent.”

Blowing things up? Chopping off heads? Mass shootings in nightclubs?

[spokeshave]

thousands of citizens from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Somalia and Libya Wait...THOUSANDS.....?

From countries with a propensity to extreme islamic jihad

Even for Google...this does not compute.

[GotMojo]

Hasn’t Google been at the front of the virtual workplace? Let them stay in country!

Whats the harm?

[B212]

330 million Americans and can’t find acceptable talent at home!...

[marron]

They very much want their H1B’s. That’s the subtext here.

[Born to Conserve]

Why does the “great talent” that comes from overseas always live in a house with fifteen or twenty other “great talents”? Because they are working for shit, and sending everything they earn back home to bring more “great talent” over here. They depress the salaries here, and none of their earnings go back in to our economy — it all goes home to the third world ditch they came from. And besides, they suck at the tech.

[TheConservativeBanker]

A whimper from the cheap labor express.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Google and great talent does not compute.

[A_Former_Democrat]

What selfish attitudes

Now what if radical Islamic terrorists blow up their HQs?

[JOAT]

A 'patriotic' company like Google is concerned that depriving them of foreign workers will hamper their efforts to collect data on every aspect of your life.

A patriot might object.

[BuffaloJack]

> Microsoft has warned its shareholders that curbs on immigration could have a material impact on its business.

H1Bs, taking jobs from Americans.

[grania]

Google needs techie talent from terrorist countries? I assume that’s because there are no US citizens who can do very clever stuff with technology. GIVE ME A BREAK!!
