TRUMP- Immigration reform is needed

The most powerful people in the technology industry — including the CEOs of Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon — attended a series of meetings at the White House on Monday.

One of the meetings was a roundtable with President Donald Trump. It was the second group meeting with the president that several of the CEOs had attended since the election.

A dour-looking Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, chatted about immigration with Trump during the meeting, The New York Times' Maggie Haberman reported on Monday.

Cook told Trump that tech employees might be worried about being targeted by Trump's proposed executive order on immigration. Cook has previously said an Apple employee was temporarily stuck overseas when the immigration ban was enacted.

Tim Cook told POTUS that the administration needed to show more heart on immigration issues, mentioned DACA, at tech CEO meeting... and said tech employees are nervous. While they don't think the administration's intent is to make them feel targeted, they need a clear signal. POTUS replied that what's needed is "comprehensive" immigration reform. No comment from Apple or White House so far.

Last year, Cook hosted a fund-raiser for Hillary Clinton, Trump's rival during the 2016 presidential election.

Since Trump was elected, Cook has sent companywide emails objecting to Trump's executive order and the administration's decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement on climate change.

"I've heard from many of you who are deeply concerned about the executive order issued yesterday restricting immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries," Cook wrote in a January email. "I share your concerns. It is not a policy we support."

Yes! Immigration Reform is needed. I just hope the media would cut it out with their fake Russian hoax. Its nothing more than a media filibuster. They need to stop impeding progress!!

I think Trump has done more harm to his own agenda than anyone else, including the media. And I definitely disagree that the Russia collusion is a hoax. If Trump's administration was not involved with Russia at all than why are they all acting so suspicious? It will take time, but I don't see Trump lasting 4 years.

Anyway, as much as I want immigration reform, I don't see it happening in this political climate (hopefully I'm wrong!).

Well lets see there has been 0 evidence of collusion so far. When they find something, Ok but otherwise they should let the man work.

Just because they haven't made public evidence of collusion doesn't mean there isn't any evidence.

I don't think the media has done much harm to Trump to be honest. They rarely call out Trump's surrogates on out right lies during interviews and panel discussions. I think the blame is mostly on him and his administration.

With all those leakers out there something would have came out. It would be better if the media focused more on policies but they care more about ratings.

How about Trump Administration get this going before Pence becomes the President?

If Trump didn't rescind DACA during the first month of his presidency, there is no reason for him to rescind it now. I think DACA is safe, at least until 2020 presidential election.

Here. We. Go.

Yes! Why do the media stop Republicans from legalizing immigrants? It's a well known fact that the media stopped them from voting for CIR in 2006, 2007 and 2013.

But I bet they ll do it right after they take health care from 24 million people and they give the 800 billion saved to the rich.
