Mange, mange mennesker er blevet påvirket af den nye Executive Order udstedt af Præsident Donald Trump i sidste uge, som forhindrer statsborgere fra Syrien, Iran, Libyen, Somalia, Yemen og Sudan at få adgang til USA i 90 dage.
Som et globalt firma har Microsoft selvfølgelig folk der arbejder for dem fra disse regioner af verden, og derfor har firmaets præsident og Chief Legal Officer, Brad Smith, skrevet følgende til disse ansatte:
"As a company, Microsoft believes in a strong and balanced high-skilled immigration system. We also believe in broader immigration opportunities, like the protections for talented and law-abiding young people under the Deferred Access for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Program, often called "Dreamers". We believe that immigration laws can and should protect the public without sacrificing people's freedom of expression or religion. And we believe in the importance of protecting legitimate and law-abiding refugees whose very lives may be at stake in immigration proceedings."
Dette er blevet understreget af Microsofts CEO Satya Nadella:
"As an immigrant and as a CEO, I've both experienced and seen the positive impact that immigration has on our company, for the country, and for the world. We will continue to advocate on this important topic."
