Why is this news story necessary on an Apple tech site? I come here for "Mac Rumors" not to read yet more politics.
Got a tip for us?

When someone uses that avatar, I would just take the comment as a grain of salt.
They make comments with nothing to back it up. Like "millions voted illegally"...
Yes, we ARE a nation made strong by immigrants. I don't see a single person disputing that, "left" or "right". We aren't halting all immigration - we are TEMPORARILY halting immigration from 6 problem areas in the world until we can figure out exactly how to deal with them and vet them effectively. No one is saying *redneck voice* "NO MORE G**D*** FOREIGNERS IS COMIN' IN OUR COUNTRY NO MORE". And perhaps for that small portion of the population that DOES feel that way, shame on them.
This is the right move by Trump. It sucks, but so do a lot of things. This is the way it has to be done. It's the only way to do it.

Where is the illegal immigration from the countries on this list? Unless you're suggesting that vetted refugees are illegal immigrants? I don't think the skilled workers these tech companies are talking about are people illegally crossing the border from Mexico.
do you mean that in a good way out a bad way? I can see both applying
- Anyone who comes here illegally is breaking the law. That was my statement. You can try to amend and twist my statement to paint me as a bigot or someone with flawed logic but it won't work. I won't let you do it. Illegal immigration and our out of control legal immigration policy is the issue and it needs to change.
- I'm glad your grandparents came here. Good for them. But now is not a time when we need more immigration. There is no room at the inn. The "NO VACANCY" sign needs to be lit. We are full. We cant financially support the people we have now. We are $20,000,000,000.00 in debt. It's not hard to understand.
- Applaud Apple all you want. They are making a financial stand, not a principled one. They think this is good PR and will help their bottom line. That's it.
They have legally paid everything they owe to the US. They took advantage of a loophole that exists that the country needs to fix if they want to prevent companies like Apple from holding money offshore. Apple is not doing anything wrong.
Funny we mention it now. When democrats used nuclear options, nobody talked about it? As you sow, so you reap.
This is American-first country. If you don't support your fellow Americans then you are not American.
I do think he's a terrorist advocate. If you don't agree with American safety then you are not an American.
Why do you even care about these outsiders. Do you truely give a damn about them? You think they give a damn about you?
Translation:
We do whatever we can to skirt paying taxes in America which has contributed to the demise of a talented labor pool, so we need to hire cheep labor from overseas to continue to make a profit.

And that's why there's a VISA and Green Card system! You have to realise there's a difference between asylum seekers, refugees, and immigrants.
