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

truthertech said:
Thanks, but we don't need your worry, and no matter how you try to deny it, your country's left wing problems are tearing it apart. Here's what President Obama's State Department said about just one of the many significant problems that your open borders approach is causing (indeed,it's still the current warning ), and maybe something you could work on if you didn't have your nose in other countries' affairs, telling us about all of our problems as you see it. Many more problems than this, but I think you get the point.

"The Netherlands is a source, destination, and transit country for men, women, and children subjected to trafficking in persons, specifically forced prostitution and forced labor. A significant number of underage Dutch residents continued to be subjected to sex trafficking in the country."

Yes, there is a crime. Just as there is, unfortunately, crime in most places.

But what does this have to do with Amsterdam "slowly being torn apart"?

Or, if the existence of crime is all it takes to be indicative of a place being torn apart, does this mean that the US is also being torn apart, on account of the crime there?

If not, can you explain why the existence of crime in, say, Amsterdam, is indicative of it "slowly being torn apart", but the existence of crime in, say, the US, is not indicative of it "slowly being torn apart"?

Thanks.

And to add to the list, now it's being reported that airline crew members who have been coming and going legally as part of their jobs are now being kept out. Yeah, just those 109 people...

[doublepost=1485977570][/doublepost]So does anyone actually have any hard numbers for how many Apple Employees actually needed to visit one of these 7 countries? I am still guessing the answer is ZERO.

That improper usage of "Period." is a double redundancy and lends nothing in authority or credibility to your political statement, it just defines you as needlessly confrontational and poorly educated.

If you're going to plagiarize, steal from someone more erudite than Sean Spicer.

Well, they still voted heavily blue in the last election. 2/3 of voters in Minneapolis voted democrat in the 2016 election, so maybe not as unhappy as you think.

Liberals like to double down on their stupidity.
Plus, Trump wasn't exactly an easy person to vote for

Are these flight attendants Apple employees? You still have not shown how this directly effects Apple.

Protecting American's to me way more important than have a very very very small number of people out of 7 billion held up. I was held up this weekend with the Delta Computer issue. I would rather error on the safe side.

What would you liberals say if a terrorist was able to get in as a trojan horse, and blew up a subway car in NYC killing hundreds of American's. I guess you would justify it as they were just protesting Trump, so it would be a good thing.

Unfortunately, this action makes us less secure, not more, and makes our job (I'm back on active duty in the Army) of protecting the US harder, not easier.

SCOTUS clearly disagrees with you. I'll take their learned opinion over yours.

More to the point, the Constitution includes the ability to enact laws that do just that, or else the whole clause would be toothless. Our founding fathers clearly understood the importance of that or would not have included it, although there has been much debate over Hamilton's and Madison's view of its expanse.

The Constitution says "The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defense and general Welfare of the United States…" Since it says provide that would give them taxation power to do so and that is what it did; or, as you said "provide meant that it was to be done by the fed. gov."

Over time the Hamiltonian view has prevaled and thus challenges to laws were based on violations of Constitutional limits on Congress and not the general welfare clause. For example, the mandatory funding of contraception violated the First and it was overturned but not the entire law.

Yes, the original Constitution was changed so to enable the collection of taxes so the gov. could carry out its necessary functions such as providing national security for the country at large. This provides for the general welfare. This I totally concur, however, the collection of tax money and the spending of it on specific entities such as $500,000,000 to Solyndra, is not for the general welfare but pits one industry against another. That is clearly not for the general welfare.

This of course is your opionion as your boss, and many others don't agree with you.
So our country is actually safer by having more people from countries that either sponsor Islamic terrorist, or are infested with them?
 
So u wait 90 days, all the while these people are stuck somewhere..... they could loose their job in that time. and who would u blame for that?

People would have gone for holidays from the U.S, only to release they can't come home...

However, the courts have deferred to Congress and let them decide what is in the interests of the general welfare; as one Supreme Court opinion put it that is a political decision and thus left to Congress; and thus Congress has pretty broad latitude to tax and spend for the general welfare as long as it is an item of national interest.

Except the countries on the list have not had citizens who committed terrorist acts in the US while other countries have and are off the list. Trump didn't add Russia or Saudi Arabia, for example.

If you prefer to remain willfully ignorant of how complex reality is, go ahead. That is not part of the oath I took.

I didn't say this effects Apple. Just mentioning another group that people probably hadn't thought of. Cheers.

Yawn.

For a start, Trump is a racist for his comments saying Mexicans are rapists. But of course you'll insist that can't possibly be racism. Or he didn't say it. Can't wait.

And of course, unconstitutionally trying to ban a religious group. And yes, that's what the ban is and how he described the ban as a religious one during the campaign. I've heard all the spin already.

What have I called fake news? And I'm not sure if you're still saying that was fake, or if you agree it's real but don't think it's relevant.

Trump is a racist coz of his comments on Mexicans? Once again you fail to realise what a race is. Mexican ≠ rase. Being american ≠ race. Being German ≠ race. Do I have to continue so that you get the point this time?

And I just went to youtube and listened to his comment about Mexicans. He didn't say Mexicans are rapist or drug dealers. He just said that Mexico doesn't send it's best. They send in the worst mostly., of which some are rapists, drug dealers, etc.

I have never been to USA, so if that is true or false - I don't really know. Or care. But there is nothing racist about what he said there. Mexicans aren't a race. Mexico is a nation. Learn the difference, it's not that hard. Really.

And once again, there is no proof to your claims. Calling someone a racist isn't nice, especially when you do it without any evidence at all. Now spin some more like a true SJW. JAAAWWWNNN...
