Tech 💻 leaders urge Trump to protect dreamers ⛅️


After Trump made the decision earlier today to end DACA, the Obama administration police, an immigration reform group founded by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is gathering signatures from tech CEOs for a letter urging President Donald Trump to keep the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

This offers leniency to undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children.

A draft of the letter from the group FWD.us, obtained by POLITICO, asserts that so-called Dreamers ⛅️ are critical to the future of American companies and that the nation’s economy stands to lose billions of dollars 💰 if their job security and residency status are revoked.

“With them, we grow and create jobs. They are part of why we will continue to have a global competitive advantage,” the draft letter states.

It was not immediately clear when the letter ✉️ will be made public, but executives already said to have signed the letter include Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and President Brad Smith, Lyft CEO Logan Green and President John Zimmer, and Uber Chief Technology Officer Thuan Pham.
