WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Roughly 900 U.S. State Department officials signed an internal dissent memo critical of President Donald Trump's travel ban for refugees and immigrants from seven Muslim-majority countries, a source familiar with the document said on Tuesday.
A senior State Department official confirmed that the memorandum in the department's "dissent channel" had been submitted to management.
White House spokesman Sean Spicer said on Monday he was aware of the memo but warned career diplomats that they should either "get with the program or they can go."

It would concern me that 900 state department employees are troubled by protecting citizens.
900? I think they at State may be a bit overstaffed-

These people ought to resign immediately
Yes, 900 new jobs for real American patriots who care about this country and its values. I hear Venezuela is looking for 900 new socialists for its fine government.
Fire them.
Tillerson WILL BE very happy to shrink the State dept. He is very used to working with a MUCH SMALLER staff in the private sector!!!
Wow, great start...
Nine hundred pink slips and counting...
They are civil service. They don’t have to go anywhere.
Appointees can be fired, career employees are pretty safe.
Wow. I need a good paying job with good benefits. Where do I sign up after theses boobs are all fired?
State Department:
13,000 Foreign Service employees
11,000 Civil Service employees
45,000 Foreign Service local employees
With a ~$70b budget.
900 of 69000 employees is 0.013% dissenting.. Bummer. They should get the state department down to 900 employees total.
I know! Let's give their jobs to (wait for it) Immigrants!
Since the Immigration Uber Alles groupies are so enamored of foreigners, let's see how they feel when they get outsourced!
Better yet: the new officeholders will all be white South African refugees from the venal and corrupt Zuma "administration"
That oughta send 'em through the roof
This is great: Saves the Trump administration the trouble of rooting out the troublemakers.
Good News. The incoming SoS has a jump-start on his purge list.
You’re Fired, fools.
Someone needs to be collecting banana boxes to pile outside their offices.
These Liberal airheads just put their hands up and begged to be “fired.” Good luck to these schmucks finding a job in the real world. I love it!! Bye, bye, don’t let the door slam you in the ass on the way out!
God willing, thousands more in DC will also beg to be fired so We The People can save millions in tax dollars.
LOL! It’s like they’re self-deporting.
President Trump just cut the State Dept staff by 900 without lifting a finger.
