Like every tech company (or, indeed, *any* large international company), Apple has employees who have green cards, work visas, dual citizenship, etc., and they are directly impacted by this ill-conceived order. So of course he has made a statement, as have leaders at several other companies.
"Apple has "reached out" to the White House to "explain the negative effect"" on the company.....There isn't any US citizens that can have those jobs instead or does Cook think Americans are just stupid?
If an American company relies so much on "illegal immigrants" that it has a negative effect when they get "temporarily banned", something is wrong with the system. Any legit US citizen should be concerned.

Where was Tim's outrage when Obama did this?

A certain percentage of all companies are immigrants because they cannot find qualified candidates. This is the truth and I know it. I am in the technology industry. Apple does not hire immigrants to save money. They hire talented people. Also, this ban applies to Greencard holders as well. green card holders are permanent residents with full ability to work and live in the US. All that is gone now because of Trump's order.
Good, I find it hard to believe that out of 300+ million US citizens they can't find the talent they need to succeed. And if so, why is that?
Why in the world would TC express outrage about that news?
Were some Apple employees affected in some manner, as with trump's recent immigration ban, requiring Cook's intervention and speaking to Apple's employees about the situation via private email, as he recently did with respect to the immigration ban with some employees potentially affected?

Tim would impress me if he knocks down the wall of Apple's closed in ecosystem.
He could start by allowing a third party workstation manufacturer to install macOS
because he cares about the issue and his employees are effected.
did you even read the article?
What about all the millions of Apple dollars Cook is cashing in and earned by moving jobs to China. We are talking dangerous Muslims so Trump has to put a stop to all Muslims until we find the bad ones.
with all due respect **** products, people's lives are being torn apart and you're over here being a selfish ass
It affects apple employees overseas because they are from the affected areas? Really?
Are Apple employees such snowflakes that they need the CEO to address things for them because they don't know what to think?

At a point in time when I was despairing at the lack of people standing up to Trump, in steps Tim Cook, CEO of one of the world's largest companies. Well Done Tim. I hope many others follow.
To those who actually believe that Trump is going to be good for America, I plead with you - stop listening to the fear and hate, look at where he is trying to lead you, because it is not a good place. History shows us where Trump's vision ends. A history I never thought we were capable of repeating.

wasn't Steve Job's father a Syrian national? (and Syria is among those banned countries)..so if Trump was the president back then,Steve Jobs father couldn't come to the US and so there was no Steve Jobs and no Apple and no Macrumors..
don't throw up a smoke screen, if you were truly concerned with people's lives, you wouldn't support Apple and buy their products.
And of course Apple does business in countries that kill gays as a matter of principle. And with those that would kill Jews, Christians, and women. Where does it stop, Tim?
As a shareholder I just want you guys to make better products that people buy.

Snowflakes?
It affects Apple employees from the specified areas, legally working in the United States. Same with google employees.
And yes, a good CEO will look after his/her employees.
I understand you probably would not look after your employees, and because of that, should not be a CEO of a large and successful company.
So then we're supposed to assume that there have never been any Apple employees negatively impacted by ILLEGAL immigrants?
Then he really should resign and run/lobby do whatever to be a source of change. Sitting as CEO and interjecting to a degree is like sitting here on a forum whining/debating like we all are. So instead why not actually do something to change what is going on... "Armchair CEO"/"armchair politician"
