Mark Zuckerberg Criticises Trump's Executive Orders On Immigration by Kappanu: 2:34am On Jan 28, 2017
Donald Trump's not going to "like" this.

Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg took to his social network on Friday to call out the president's recent executive orders, focusing on Trump's anti-immigration policies.

In Trump's first week in the White House, he's signed executive orders to push forward his plans for a wall along the US border with Mexico, withhold federal funding from sanctuary cities and block refugees from nations like Iran, Iraq, Libya and Syria.

Zuckerberg, who is totally not running for president, criticized Trump's actions by saying the US is a "nation of immigrants." He shared that his great-grandparents came to the US from Germany, Austria and Poland, while wife Priscilla Chan's parents were refugees from China and Vietnam.

"Like many of you, I'm concerned about the impact of the recent executive orders signed by President Trump," Zuckerberg said in a Facebook post on Friday. "We need to keep this country safe, but we should do that by focusing on people who actually pose a threat."

He urged Trump to keep the US' doors open to refugees. "Had we turned away refugees a few decades ago, Priscilla's family wouldn't be here today."

Zuckerberg said he taught a class at a middle school a few years ago and that some of his best students were "undocumented." "They are our future too," he said. The Facebook CEO also appreciated that Trump announced he'd find a solution for 750,000 immigrants in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program under the DREAM Act.

Trump and Facebook's top execs haven't exactly seen eye-to-eye. Despite the olive branch Trump offered during his tech summit, Facebook's bosses are still keeping their distance from the commander in chief.

Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, who was at that summit in December, sharply criticized Trump on Thursday, after his executive order to cut funding for international health groups that perform abortions or provide any information about the procedure.

The Trump administration did not respond to requests for comment.

Trump, who prefers to share his thoughts on Twitter, has yet to comment on Zuckerberg or Sandberg's remarks.

My great grandparents came from Germany, Austria and Poland. Priscilla's parents were refugees from China and Vietnam. The United States is a nation of immigrants, and we should be proud of that.

Like many of you, I'm concerned about the impact of the recent executive orders signed by President Trump.

We need to keep this country safe, but we should do that by focusing on people who actually pose a threat. Expanding the focus of law enforcement beyond people who are real threats would make all Americans less safe by diverting resources, while millions of undocumented folks who don't pose a threat will live in fear of deportation.

We should also keep our doors open to refugees and those who need help. That's who we are. Had we turned away refugees a few decades ago, Priscilla's family wouldn't be here today.

That said, I was glad to hear President Trump say he's going to "work something out" for Dreamers -- immigrants who were brought to this country at a young age by their parents. Right now, 750,000 Dreamers benefit from the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program that allows them to live and work legally in the US. I hope the President and his team keep these protections in place, and over the next few weeks I'll be working with our team at FWD.us to find ways we can help.

I'm also glad the President believes our country should continue to benefit from "people of great talent coming into the country."

These issues are personal for me even beyond my family. A few years ago, I taught a class at a local middle school where some of my best students were undocumented. They are our future too. We are a nation of immigrants, and we all benefit when the best and brightest from around the world can live, work and contribute here. I hope we find the courage and compassion to bring people together and make this world a better place for everyone

Liberals with their extremely dangerous demagoguery.

This is a guy who can't even tolerate opinions of people different from his own on his platform. A post about degenerate homosexual practices is taken down almost instantaneously on facebook.

Compared to the nations under focus by the executive order, how many Chinese are terrorists?

How many Germans have been caught trafficking drugs?

Why can't Zuckerberg offer assistance to his government on proper identification of terrorists instead?

I wish Trump would add Nigeria and El Rufai in the list of banned nations and undesirables. Anywhere there is Muslim majority or visible minority then violence and terrorism is always close by.

You people just love to be contrary for no good reason!!! Key word here is MELANIA!!!!

Melania worked as an undocumented (illegal) immigrant for a while, go and do your findings, don't argue to hear your own voice, make sure you are communicating!!!!!

It's ironic man. The countries producing the highest numbers and high-risk terrorists aren't on Trumpies' list. Countries like UAE should be on his list, but aren't because he has business concerns there. What of Saudi Arabia that produced Bin Laden? If it's Muslims he doesn't want in the US, the place to begin should be Saudi Arabia. I bet you Putin's 'girlfriend' wouldn't dare that because there'd be global Muslim boycott - as a solidarity to their most-revered institution. Trumpy wouldn't still dare Saudi, because it is so rich to be toyed with. Saudis and rich Arab nations will get a first-class treatment in the US than all the supporters of the demagogue from less endowed countries.

Anyway na Trump get him mouth. He made the promises and must fulfill them. But what I remember him saying was 'a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on.'

Blocking those Islamic extremist refugees from entering the states is a step in the right direction. Those guys are like virus, they spread and destroy their carriers.

So far, Trump is doing well. America needs cleansing especially morally.

Did you say morally? Well, what about Trump's assertion that Americans should live with gay marriage, as it is a settled law.

He started from somewhere, countries were ISIS hold sway which have many immigrants (war escapees) leaving the countries. If a terror attack happens in US soil during his tenure, he may add more countries to the list

So, that's your definition of 'a total and complete shutdown of Muslims.'
