Microsoft Seeks Trump Order Exemption for Workers With Visas (bloomberg.com)

Microsoft is asking U.S. officials to grant exceptions for law-abiding, visa-holding workers and students from President Donald Trump's immigration order, channeling the outrage expressed by many in the technology industry with a proposed solution. From a report: Such individuals are low-risk -- having already undergone a rigorous vetting process -- and face immediate hardship as a result of last week's order, Microsoft President and Chief Legal Officer Brad Smith said in a letter Thursday to the secretaries of State and Homeland Security. Smith said he believes the two officials are empowered to take the necessary steps to allow certain people entry into the country. The exemptions sought would cover workers with visas sponsored by U.S.-based companies and students with ones obtained via a U.S.-based school.

There were 0 deaths from terrorist attacks from those countries.

But that's fine. you are an abject retard, and King Retard will keep making America worse and worse to please morons like yourself.

Enjoy the damage you have done to people who are likely better educated and more useful than yourself.

You can stomp on the throats of the powerless until your legs get sore. But you will still be completely fucking worthless.

Sure, MS! What Risks?

Yeah, like the San Bernadino shooters or the Tsarnaev brothers.

How many lives is MS willing to risk to save a few percent on labor costs?
