[Hawnsgist] Apple CEO Joins Mark Zukerberg And Others To Denounce Donald Trump's Immigration Ban

Tom Cook,  CEO of Apple has joined all the other ceos of silicon valley to denounce trumps recent ban on Muslim immigration into the U.S. He made his opinion clear in the meeting he had with his staff,  insisting that his firm does not support the policy.

In an email to workers, obtained by Recode, he wrote: ‘Apple would not exist without immigration, let alone thrive and innovate the way we do.

‘I’ve heard from many of you who are deeply concerned about the executive order issued yesterday restricting immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries. I share your concerns. It is not a policy we support.’

He then quoted Dr. Martin Luther King in the note to employees: ‘In the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, ‘We may have all come on different ships, but we are in the same boat now.’

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and Google CEO Sundar Pichai lead the outcry from business leaders.

Trump signed an order on Friday banning immigrants from seven countries from entering the United States, even if they have already been approved.
