The up side is this will speed up the disuse of the dollar as the world trade currency. Once that happens we can see how great America really is when the rest of the world is not picking up the tab anymore.

Apple CEO Tim Cook on Immigration Executive Order: 'It is Not a Policy We Support'

Steve Jobs had a Syrian background. Many employees that work at Apple and other tech companies rely on immigrants from abroad.America was founded on immigrants.
I support Trump's decision wholeheartedly I have nothing against muslims or any group of people but I have to say that some muslims don't integrate well in western societies because their nations did not embrace modernity and scientific revolution they are still living in religious and clerical states some of these states don't even consider women as citizens so.... Trump's decision is wise, from a security standpoint we know that ISIS members can infiltrate these refugees like it did happen in Europe we need to learn a lesson from that mistake.
This silly "muslim" ban also effects immigrants from one of the banned countries within America as well, immigrants who despite the fact are legally entitled to work and do have a green card can't travel back and forth to, let's say, Canada. Because when you're originally from one of the listed countries as stated by Trump you are considered to be unwelcome to come back to America once you step out of it. Meaning, al of the legal immigrants can't take even a holiday abroad.
Thinking this all will help the terrosist from planning attacks is just hilariously stupid.
But what else do you espect when you have a psychological disturbed president in charge?

We did not see marches because of drones killings ordered by Obama as if it didn't happen at all that's why I see a lot of hypocrisy from MSM and big CEOs. They pick and choose which statement will make them and their brand popular.
Trump's decision isn't wise, it's silly and doesn't help one bit. Even worse, it helps terrorist because the main goal of terrorist, as the world terror implies, is to create divisions within a given society. The best way to achieve that is when leaders in charge take measurements in order to divide people even more.
While you naively think this will stop terrorist from planning and execute terror attacks it ironically serves one of their main objectives; dividing society's, putting up groups to each other, create fear for one and another.
You support Trump's decision wholeheartedly without any bias..?
Of the 7 countries that are on the list could you tell me how many people from those countries committed acts of terrorism in America over the last 20 years?
I am sure that supporters like Netanyahu and Lieberman along with their supporters probably also wholeheartedly support Trump as well.
Apple is a liberal brand. It's best if the bigots don't buy it and don't worry about its internal company emails.
Well done Tim, like any decent multicultural company you are not supporting this ridiculous measure.

Like it or not, about half the country voted for Trump. And I know plenty of conservatives hate him, while there's no way any "liberal" voted for him, so that means more than half the country probably falls on the conservative side. There's nothing especially multicultural about Apple; they just hire whoever is best qualified.
I think more people hate him than like him to be honest. If Americas future is being placed in this hands of a loudmouth reality TV star, I think we should all be rather worried.
While you were busy applauding trump, you missed the fact that NONE of the 9/11 terrorists came from these countries, and 19 of them came from Saudi Arabia, which wasn't banned. That's poor implementation, even if you agreed with the policy.
Nope, it's just a meaningless silly and angry oneliner. A four years old can do that.
Are you saying that currently, there is no vetting, and that anyone can just waltz right in, blindly?
Do you also think that cars should be banned in the US, to protect people from road traffic accidents?
I know a lot of people don't like Trump, but why is every CEO making announcements about all his policy decisions?
First of all, this is not the case. Not every CEO speaks out against Trump. Secondly, in Tim Cook's his case in all of this, he's merely speaking out because Trump's actions efects Apple's business and Apple's philosophical stand in all of this.
You can't combat terror with cowardice and niceness. Many enlightened muslims and some i know personally are very happy Trump is president they said to me that they are tired of Obama standing by some very radical groups whom he calls moderates. Things have changed the world has changed we need to adapt all of us and we need to protect our freedom and democracy all Islamist organizations (Political Islam) consider sharia law above civil laws and that is not acceptable to me.
Yeah...this statement was entirely unnecessary. I think everything in it went without saying anyway.
[doublepost=1485685744][/doublepost]I'm beginning to believe that MacRumors is right-leaning as a whole...
What is it with liberals presuming to talk on others behalf? I bet there's a good number of Apple employees who agree with this action and so they should. Liberals are basically saying we're fine letting murders, rapists and terrorists in. That's what Germany and France have done and we all know that's worked out wonderfully. I'm not sure if it's stupidity or delusion.
Also really fed up of the "but we're all immigrants" crap. It's the argument of a 5 year old.

I do not support Netanyahu because I don't care about this person. The ban will not last forever it will be lifted once the picture is clearer and once we know who is behind and financing the radicalization of the young muslims.
Agree completely.
Its astonishing to read people saying it is a good idea of trump's to have some vetting, as though they actually believe that there currently is none, and people can just blindly walk through customs and start a life in the US.

So how does it work then?
Imagine I am a Syrian refugee, and I'd like to come and live in the US temporarily whilst Syria remains war torn....
Tell me about the process to do that....
There is nothing 'cowardice' with working international together on facing terrorism instead of shutting borders for some muslim countries with the illusion that this would help against terror attacks.
Obama never did such a thing. The only thing Obama, rightfully, did was refusing to call it a war against the Islam. Obama did the right thing because he understood that you can't label millions of Muslims just because a minority is causing problems.
It's a very solid and rightfully approach, by addressing the groups responsible for terror attacks instead of every single Muslim by attacking the Is.am as a whole.
You don't condemn christianity as a whole when one christian, armed with a bible in one hand and a gun in his other hand, is killing people on the streets while yelling that god gave him this assignment.
There is nothing wrong with being 'tough' on terrorist, but by banning whole nations you discriminate those who have nothing to do with terrorism but none the less are being labeled as being a potential threat, but even worse, it simply doesn't help dealing with real terrorism a bit.
First of all, the world is always changing. You make it sound like this is a rare thing. Secondly, if Trump, and you, are so afraid of a political Islam, why not banning Saudi Arabia? Or people from Pakistan? It's a rhetorical question, the answer is simple and explains Trump's and his supporters hypocrite stand in all of this; interest.
Most of the attackers from 9/11 came from Saudi Arabia and it's well known that within Pakistan many extremist are gaining ground. Why not banning those countries?
I don't think closing border with some countries will stop terrorist from planning terrorist attacks and that it will be of no influence of their disturbed thoughts at al., If you are really concerned with terrorism then you should cooperate in a global manner and attack those who are planning terrorist attacks and not whole groups just because of their religion or nationality because that's, ironically, exactly what terrorist wants. Division within free liberal countries.
