Hundreds of high tech companies from Silicon Valley, the Seattle area and Minnesota filed a suit to block Trump's Executive Order temporarily banning Immigration from 7 predominantly Muslim countries (Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Libya, Sudan, and Somalia) claiming, in part, that it is "a significant departure from the principles of fairness and predictability that have governed the immigration system of the United States for more than fifty years," and "The Order makes it more difficult and expensive for U.S. companies to recruit, hire, and retain some of the world’s best employees. It disrupts ongoing business operations. And it threatens companies’ ability to attract talent, business, and investment to the United States."
Just to be clear we are talking about Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Libya, Sudan, and Somalia here.
I had no idea what fertile ground these countries are for recruiting high tech employees and as a source of investment capital.
Chalk this one up to "You learn something new every day."
What a steaming crock of excrement!
