Statement from Mozilla on US Immigration Ban

The immigration ban covers 7 specific countries by halting entry for 90 days (they are already subject to I think 120 day wait period) while the White House reviews the procedures for screening immigrants from those specific countries.<p>The US did not ban immigration. I wish people would stop saying that. It&#x27;s factually incorrect whether we are for or against this specific measure.

&gt; the ban will create a barrier to innovation, economic development and global impact. Immigrants bring world class skills and expertise to build advanced technology that can improve the lives of people everywhere.<p>Perhaps this will happen on its own, but if companies are really worried about this, they should have more remote offices (I know Mozilla is remote-friendly, I&#x27;m talking in general).<p>Those are the optics that Trump cares about, job numbers. If tech can get the narrative that job growth will be outside the US w&#x2F;o skilled immigrants, perhaps that will resonate?

Too soft, too passive. Trump wont listen to predictions (it <i>will</i> create ...). You need declarations. It <i>creates</i> obstructions to business. And if you really want to cut at him, call it a &quot;regulation&quot; impacting daily business decisions. Tell him how this is costing businesses money. That he cares about.
