In 2012, US President Barack Obama initiated the implementation of the DACA program, which provided assistance in providing education and employment for immigrants coming to the country at a minor age. Today, Donald Trump plans to make serious changes in migration policy, and it seems that this program will be under threat.
In this regard, the leaders of more than 350 largest US corporations appealed to the president with a demand to continue the implementation of the DACA program and not to make any changes to it. In the number of applicants came in and the head of Apple Tim Cook.
In their statement, company managers reminded that not only private enterprises that receive valuable personnel benefit from immigrant assistance programs, but also the government. Each participant in the program must pay a certain fee, which allows the state to earn $ 300 million each year.
Migration legislation has always been a sensitive issue for the Silicon Valley, where most of the inhabitants are visitors from other countries. Therefore, Tim Cook's increased attention to DACA can be fully understood.
