Google is putting its money where its mouth is.
The tech giant is creating a $2 million crisis fund for immigrant causes, which can be matched by up to $2 million from Google employees, potentially amounting to $4 million in donations that would benefit four organizations.
Sundar Pichai, Google's chief executive, detailed the fund in a memo sent out to all staff on Sunday, reported USA Today. A Google spokeswoman confirmed the report Monday morning.
The fund's creation follows Pichai's criticism of President Donald Trump's immigration order, issued Friday. The executive order puts in place a temporary ban on entry into the US by citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries as a deterrent to potential acts of terrorism. It created uncertainty at many airports over the weekend as federal agencies worked to interpret the requirements and sparked widespread protests across the US by people who saw the move as excessive and "un-American."
The immigration order has garnered strongly worded criticism from across the tech industry, with Apple, Microsoft, Twitter, Facebook and many others joining the chorus of voices condemning Trump's decision.
The fund will be Google's largest crisis campaign ever. It would provide funds to the American Civil Liberties Union, Immigrant Legal Resource Center, International Rescue Committee and UNHCR.

got that right, same as Dem leaders who never cried over the Navy Seal or any of the military who have died or those families who have lost loved ones from illegals.
Those H1B visas lead the charge.
Do you know of a substitute for Google Maps?
On the phone use Here WeGo (Here Maps). You can even download entire States, Countries, or continents for offline use without data.
Mapquest
Not as good, have to admit...
Works really but not a lot of experience with it:
I use to get upset when I saw liberal commies like this reacting so negatively to what the President when he does anything that he campaigned on and was elected to do. But then I realized, what I would think if these same commie liberals were happy with what he was doing. It dawned on me that these types of reactions are exactly what I should expect and are nothing more than solid proof that President Trump is keeping his promises. So I now cheer when I see the idiots reacting this way because I know that my President is busy doing the job he was elected to do. The more he pisses them off the more I love him.
Google is a ‘noodle’.
Thanks.
Thanks very much.
By any chance, do you know of a good substitute for TripAdvisor, since they have now shown themselves to be anti-American, as well?
Go over to Twitter and search for #googlersunite. Take a look at the photos.
Apparently, Diversity at Google stops at 40 years old.
