Tech Workers Demonstrate Against Trump by Mikeshiangala(m): 1:41pm On Feb 14, 2017


President Trump recently tried to ban anyone from a list of seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States. The Ninth Circuit Court has thwarted those efforts so far, though Trump plans to appeal that decision.
Meanwhile, many legal citizens, green-card holders and even those born in the U.S have faced scrutiny at the border.

And in Silicon Valley, that ban and other efforts against immigrants have a greater impact on tech and the economy.

Immigrants have been instrumental in building some of the world’s largest tech companies and Silicon Valley feeds on a constant flow of brain power and innovation from people coming from all over the world.
However, Trump is expected to soon take steps to overhaul the rules for the H-1B visa program, a specialized type of visa given to highly skilled workers, nearly half of which go to those working in Silicon Valley.

Though San Francisco maintains its sanctuary city status, tech workers at the rally today also mentioned being scared of what Trump could do to them and their families chanting at various times, “No ban. No wall. Sanctuary for all.”
