CEO Tim Cook Says Apple is Pushing Extrembly Hard on DACA
CEO Tim Cook says Apple is pushing extremely hard on DACA: 'I am personally shocked that there is even a discussion of this'
- Earlier this month, the Department of Homeland Security said it would phase out the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which provides temporary protection and work authorization for young immigrants, brought to the U.S. as children, who are living in the country illegally.
- "This is unacceptable," Cook said in an interview at the Bloomberg Global Business Forum. "This is not who we are as a country."

Apple CEO Tim Cook: 'I am personally shocked that there is even a discussion of this' 3 Hours Ago | 00:57
Apple CEO Tim Cook said on Wednesday that immigration is the "biggest issue of our time," and that his company is pushing extremely hard on immigration reform.
In particular, Cook defended the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which provides temporary protection and work authorization for young immigrants, brought to the U.S. as children, who are living in the country illegally.
Earlier this month, the Department of Homeland Security said it would phase out the program. President Donald Trump has said that there would be no action over the next six months, but that it was Congress' job to legalize the program.
"This is unacceptable," Cook said in an interview at the Bloomberg Global Business Forum. "This is not who we are as a country. I am personally shocked that there's even a discussion on this. It's not a political thing, at least I don't see it that way at all. It's about basic human decency and respect."
Cook has said that Apple will work with Congress on behalf of its employees that benefit from the DACA program — people that many refer to as "dreamers."
"I wish everyone in America loved America this much," Cook said of the Dreamers that work at Apple.
"If I were a world leader, my goal would be to monopolize the world's talent," Cook added. "Smart people create jobs. ... I'd have a very aggressive plan, not to just let a few people in, but I'd be recruiting."
Michael Bloomberg, CEO of Bloomberg L.P. and former mayor of New York City, said that Bloomberg employees that are immigrants in the U.S. have been asking to be transferred to foreign offices in light of recent immigration policy proposals.
"Words have consequences," Bloomberg said. "We need a constant source of new blood ... they will go someplace else that's more welcoming."
Bloomberg compared the end of DACA to a bank robbery: If a woman walked into a bank holding a baby, pulled out a gun and held up a bank, we wouldn't prosecute the infant, Bloomberg said.
Critics of DACA have argued that it signals the U.S. is willing to grant amnesty to those that immigrate illegally, which could feed into the larger issue of border control. But Cook said he believes it's an issue of being "human," recalling a trip to historic immigration center Ellis Island in New York.
'You can feel the people in that room," Cook said of Ellis Island. "You can feel the anxiety and the hope. That's where we all started. ... as children of immigrants."

Matthew 19:26
But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Seems to me you're not "shocked" about anything except the US government's simple enforcement of US law. I think you're suffering from SELF-SERVING SELECTIVE SHOCK, Tim.
"If I were a world leader, my goal would be to monopolize the world's talent," Cook added. "Smart people create jobs. ... I'd have a very aggressive plan, not to just let a few people in, but I'd be recruiting."
See Tim, Donald Trump is NOT a world leader. He's the President of the United States with a constitutional obligation to enforce the laws of the United States, especially US immigration law.
Tim, you're a juvenile baby-talker who doesn't know a damn thing about our country, our Constitution, our laws or the real people of the United States. We want illegal aliens deported, all removed from our space, we want our country back and we're taking it back. Neither you nor any other corporate "leader" is going stop US. We'll boycott your company, shut down your asses and put you all in soup-lines before we allow this scourge of illegal immigration to continue in our country.
Grab a hanky, Tim, because this free ride is .... OVER!!Last edited by Judy; 09-20-2017 at 03:39 PM.

Boycott Apple! And we need anti-Trust legislation and investigations because a big global company like Apple should not be trying to push around US taxpayers by representing illegal alien invaders in Washignton DC!
