Tech CEOs blast President Trump's executive order that freezes new visas for foreign workers.

The ban could have major negative ramifications if Trump were to later expand the types of visas that are covered or continue the ban into 2021, experts said.

Tech companies were early and vocal critics of Trump’s immigration policies three years ago after he took office, and this time, the industry says the supply of skilled labor from abroad is essential to reviving the economy from the pandemic-induced recession. Both Twitter and Amazon called the executive order “short-sighted.” Facebook said Trump was using the pandemic as a justification for limiting immigration.

The order goes into effect Wednesday and will bar the issuance of some new H-1B visas, which generally go to tech workers. It also restricts H-2B visas for low-skill jobs, J visas for those participating in work and student exchanges and L visas for intracompany transfers. The suspension will last until December 31.

Perhaps we hire educate citizens vs give H1B visas which allow tech firms to import cheap 3-in-a-room Indian tech laborers? White collar slavery?

Once everybody is back to work and we need them things will change, and that's what the President said.

Less votes for Biden

Poor babies.

Start announcing moving the jobs now if policies don't change. US Government policies too inconsistent and capricious to run your business here.

Trump hates technology companies because they are the future...plus they most likely support a more Democratic stance like Amazon, Microsoft, Cisco, Facebook, Twitter, Oracle, etc. Trump is not a team player..he's not for America...he is short sighted..and he's only about him

Tech CEOs don't want to hire Americans, but they do want to bring in cheap labor from other countries to increase their profits. And they want to do their manufacturing in China. I don't think very highly of Tech CEOs
