DAPers, this is one of the most welcoming meetings/happenings I have read about since Trump won on Nov 8. This is the primary reason why everyone who is optimistic is very confident of our future. Just take a look at the attendees of this meeting. Time and again we have been supported by big time CEOs and executives. There is not a single executive out there who has voiced support about "deporting all undocumented people." It's just not feasible and frankly it will never happen. Also, tech CEOs are all for immigration reform that includes a way to bring in talent and reform our legal immigration system as well. Right now the H1B program is a total mess and truly unfair. Its all about materiality. The people in this meeting represent a combined $3 billion + of market value, more than the GDP of most countries! Seriously lets have some common sense and get rid of the irrational fears we have created in our heads due to Trumps "rhetoric" before the election. This is just fascinating!! Let's have a lively discussion beyond immigration.

I will start. I am absolutely seeing the fact that Corporations are going to have an amazing time and mainly due to the lower corporate tax rate and quite possibly lesser regulations. In fact, the main people who will actually benefit with his tax plan (top wealthy people) are all concentrated in states that voted for Hillary!!! That is why I am really praying that all this will eventually end up shoring up the economy and helping the silent majority and all middle class like us because it is them who truly made Trump President!! It's what they refer to as "trickle down" effect. But as far as I'm concerned, things are looking good but as always we should be cautiously optimistic. In other news, who else is absolutely banking right now with the stock market? The financials sector is totally on fire!

Sincere request, please do not respond to someone in an insulting way in case you don't like what they say. But definitely feel free to engage in an intellectual debate! Just let them be and focus on this topic.

Trickle down works like piss. First the fat cat gets to eat and drink, then you get the piss.

I'm sorry. But speaking outside of my own personal interest, loosening up regulations and lowering corporate taxes isn't a good thing in the long term. The regulations is a whole debate unto itself, so I won't go there. The idea that taxes are the reason that companies are leaving the U.S. or lowering their job numbers is just not true. Both of those are inevitable due to population increase around the world and technology increase.

Just look at the new rollout of Amazon take and go stores. Or the soon to be millions of truck drivers out of work. Or the soon to be unknown jobs that will be put out as a result of Data Science jobs.

What these people are doing is applying last century's solutions to this century's problems. It is just going to be a disaster to think like that. All of humanity needs to transition to the next step. Are we going to do it clean and optimally or kicking and screaming is up to us. Alas, I think history has shown that we tend to pick the latter path. *sigh*

Yes, IMMIGRATION was discussed. As it pertains to the tech industry, Immigration plays a very big role. Tech CEOs never support an anti-immigrant policy.

At the top of the gathering (I may not have the order of all the topics exactly right), Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella brought up perhaps the most thorny issue: Immigration and how the government can help tech with things like H-1B visas to keep and bring in more talent. Nadella pointed out that much of the company’s spending on research and development was in the U.S., even if 50 percent of the sales were elsewhere, so that immigration would benefit those here.

Surprisingly to the group, Trump apparently responded favorably, “Let’s fix that,” he said, without a specific promise, and then asked, “What can I do to make it better?”

This man has bamboozled his supporters. The argument against work visas is classic white resentment. This is what happens when people grow up in a society that tells them your skin color offers you privwlage and then they see a Mexican doing better than them. Meanwhile, the fat cats in wall st and the Republicans use these things as a distraction so they can make the fat cats richer at the expense of their base.
