We share your goal of ensuring that our immigration system meets today’s security needs and keeps our country safe. We are concerned, however, that your recent executive order will affect many visa holders who work hard here in the United States and contribute to our country’s success. In a global economy, it is critical that we continue to attract the best and brightest from around the world. We welcome the changes your administration has made in recent days in how the Department of Homeland Security will implement the executive order, and we stand ready to help your administration identify other opportunities to ensure that our employees can travel with predictability and without undue delay.
Our nation’s compassion is a part of what makes it exceptional, and we are committed to helping your administration identify approaches for thorough screening without a blanket suspension of admissions under the U.S. Refugee Admissions program. While security and vetting procedures can and should always be subject to continuous evaluation and improvement, a blanket suspension is not the right approach.
Similarly, we stand ready to identify ways of helping to achieve your stated goal of bringing clarity to the future of the 750,000 Dreamers in this country under the protections of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program in a way “that will make people happy and proud.” Removing these protections by barring renewals would effectively end the program and eliminate the ability for these Dreamers to work and live without the fear of deportation.
The business community shares your commitment to growing the American economy and expanding job creation across the country. We hire both thousands of Americans and some of the most talented people from abroad, who work together to help our companies succeed and expand our overall employment. As you contemplate changes to the nation’s complex and interconnected immigration policies, whether business and employment-based visas, refugees, or DACA, we hope that you will use us as a resource to help achieve immigration policies that both support the work of American businesses and reflect American values.
Not terrorist prone immigrants
LEGAL was left out. Probably just an oversight?
Islam will be the death of America.
It’s the commandment of their prophet in their book.
Because Apple uses those people for cheap labor..they would NEVER have an Apple plant here in the US, would cost them too much so instead they want to hire cheap labor while they get stinkin rich
Trump’s order banned Syrian refugees from entering the country, blocked citizens of seven countries (Iraq, Iran, Somalia, Sudan, Libya, Syria, and Yemen) from entering the U.S. for 90 days, and suspended entry of all refugees entering the U.S. for 120 days.......
Why not permanent ?
L-E-G-A-L
Apple knows better.
Cook..pay the taxes apple owes to Ireland
From the leftist perspective... white men were illegal immigrants on Indian land. From that perspective, I guess you could make the leap that illegal immigration made us stronger. However, letting the natives retake the land isn’t likely to lead to greater innovation.
No reasonable person is against legal immigrants whose entry would add to the fabric of society. We oppose illegal aliens. We oppose prospective immigrants who wish us harm. We oppose immigrants who do not want to join into American society and culture. Immigration is not a right. It is a privilege granted by the host country.
Be decent, be productive and follow our laws: you may be given a chance to come here.
LEGAL immigrants.
Who says we won’t have immigrants?
“America First”
The kind of immigrants who built up the country by working hard, are not the kind that Trump is keeping out.
Irish, French, English, Scottish, Italian, etc. Not screaming bearded savages!
I’m fed up witness assholes to the point it would not bother me if one were mugged, or worse, by an illegal alien.
We are a nation made stronger by Liberty, freedom, and the rule of law. Legal immigrants are welcome. Illegals have not earned the liberty or freedom as they violated our laws upon entry. Deport all of them. Every damned one of them, and file civil charges against their employers and enablers.
Cheap Labor Express wanting to ignore federal laws to drive wages down.
5 facts about illegal immigration in the U.S.

Yesteryear’s immigrants, and some of today’s immigrants who are ambitious and talented; but not the socialists, the Muslim fundamentalists, the welfare consumers, and the ones who won’t learn English, which together probably make up a majority.
What idiots. No one says that immigrants in general are no good.
But, you see, these smug elites, the Mercedes Marxists and the rent seeking (tax & immigration regulation advantage seeking) crony capitalists are not really interested in “immigration”, they are globalists really after “open borders”, period. So ANY move what so ever to exercise sovereign control over immigration is really an attempt to thwart regulation of immigration, period.
“Apple and Others Pen Open Letter to Trump: ‘We Are a Nation Made Stronger by Immigrants’”
Over all, since 1965, NO.
