Apple Inc, Microsoft Corp and other 52 US technology companies support the prosecution of Trump! Demand that the ban on foreign workers be lifted.

According to Reuters, 52 American technology companies, including Amazon.Com Inc, Facebook Inc, Apple Inc and Microsoft Corp, jointly submitted a legal document (legal brief)Support the entry ban on foreign workers suing Trump。

The tech giants said in the document that Trump's claim that the decree could protect American workers was actually a "wrong assumption".The injunction will hurt.American companies, in turn, hurt the already troubled US economy.

The sponsor of the lawsuit is the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), which stated in a document issued on July 31st: "because the announcement (ban on entry of foreign workers) isIllegalAnd for countless enterprises and their employeesThe workers have caused substantial and irreparable damage, and the court should order it to be banned immediately.」

The indictment comes after it was reported that the Trump administration was sued by byte beats a few days ago, and the Trump administration was brought to justice. Earlier, the Trump administration issued a ban on TikTok and Wechat, which the ACLU also said: "This is another abuse of emergency power under the guise of national security.」

Release jobs for Americans? No, it leads to the employment of workers abroad!

In June, Trump issued a presidential announcement suspending a series of specific non-immigrant work visas. The ban lasts from June 24 until the end of this year, and the visa restrictions cover Hmur1B, Hmur2B, Hmur4, Lmur1 and specific Jmur1 visas.

It is worth mentioningIs that some of the visas that have been suspendedDirected at the introduction of talents by technology companies. Among them, Hmur1B visa points to skilled foreign workers, including Microsoft Corp, Amazon.Com Inc, Alphabet Inc-CL C, Facebook and Apple Inc, etc., all employ a large number of foreign talents holding Hmur1B visa; Lmur1 points to managers and professional workers in the company.These are both types of visas used by technology companies.. Mr Trump's ban also prevented seasonal workers from obtaining Hmur2B visas, with the exception of those working in the food supply chain.

The Trump administration said the move would be in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.Release jobs for unemployed Americans. According to government officials, the purpose of the announcement is to achieve the goal of "About 525000 jobs have been released」。

But technology companies don't think so.

In the legal documents supported by 52 companies, including Amazon.Com Inc, Facebook Inc and Apple Inc, they saidVisa restrictions will hurt US companies, cause employers to hire workers outside the US and further damage the already struggling US economy.

「Canada, China and IndiaGlobal competitors from other countries are seizing this opportunity to attract well-trainedInnovative talents. The legal document reads, "at the same time, it is also necessary for American companies toOverseas recruitmentTo get the job done. "Cook, CEO of Apple IncWhen the ban was just issued on June 23, he said that the restraining order for foreign workers ordered himDeeply disappointed.

Fifty-two companies, including Apple Inc, Microsoft Corp, Netflix and Twitter, signed the lawsuit, which was initiated by the National Association of Manufacturers (National Association of Manufacturers, NAM) in California. The organization is the United States.The largest manufacturing industry trade associationRepresenting 14000 small and large manufacturing companies in all industrial sectors in 50 states.

NAM: Trump visa ban is illegal, the court will ban it!

In the legal document issued by the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) on July 31st, we saw the following view: "since the announcement is illegal and has caused substantial and irreparable harm to countless enterprises and the workers they employ, the court should immediately order it to be banned. "

The notice is based on paragraph 212 (f) of the International Immigration Act, which authorizes the President to suspend the entry of non-citizens for foreign affairs and national security reasons. The Ninth Circuit recently ruled that if section 212 (f) provides any power of action relating to domestic policy, then that power is limited. Trump's visa banSerious violation of the terms of reference of paragraph 212 (f)。

According to NAM, "the purpose of the visa law is toFundamentally change the way the company hires for at least the next six monthsIt will be given to the representative of NAM.Hundreds of thousands of enterprises have brought irreparable lossesIncluding Microsoft Corp, Amazon.Com Inc, Intrax, Alliance Abroad and other technology giants. "

In fact, as a result of the restraining order, as early as 21 July, the American Chamber of Commerce (USCC) joined forces with a number of industry associations, including the National Association of Manufacturers, the American Retail Federation (NRF), TechNet, and the International training and Exchange Organization (Intrax), to file a lawsuit against US Secretary of State Pompeo and acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf.

"We need drivers more than ever before," said Linda Kelly, senior vice president and general counsel of NAM.A highly skilled innovatorThese illegal visa restrictions hurt manufacturers and their workers. "

TikTok will also sue Trump, ACLU: TikTok ban is abuse of power

The Trump administration may have received far more lawsuits recently than the National Association of Manufacturers. A few days ago, the byte beat of TikTok's parent company was also rumored to be suing the Trump administration, attracting attention.

The fuse came from Trump's unreasonable request for the US government to "take a piece of the pie" in Microsoft Corp's acquisition of TikTok on August 3, followed by an executive order signed by the US president in the early morning of August 7, saying that 45 days later, anyAmerican individuals and businesses and other entities deal with TikTok parent company byte jump and Wechat parent company Tencent。

There is also a lot of opposition from all walks of life in the United States regarding the Trump administration's ban on TikTok and Wechat. Hina Shamsi, national security director of the American Civil Liberties Union, said in a statement: "This is another abuse of emergency power under the guise of national security.」

"this will infringe on civil or criminal penalties for communicating with family, friends or business contacts in the United States," Shamsi said.Violates the first Amendment rights of American users.. "it seems that all sectors of American society also have great doubts about the legality of Trump's ban.

Conclusion: there is much support for justice, but little support for injustice.

After Chinese technology companies were reported to sue the Trump administration, US technology companies such as Amazon.Com Inc and Facebook Inc also supported suing Trump, arguing that the visa ban could not protect American workers. on the contrary, it will hurt American companies and the US economy. At the same time, Trump's abuse of power under the guise of national security has also been criticized by American society. Combined with the recent administrative ban on TikTok and Wechat, some netizens even shouted, "the world has suffered from Trump for a long time."

With the advance of economic globalization, the industrial chains and enterprises of countries around the world have long been a community with a shared future. Going against the current will only hurt the vast number of workers and enterprises, and the initiators will inevitably be unjust and unsupportive. The response of technology companies is one aspect of the public demand in the context of Sino-US trade, and the need for win-win cooperation knows no national boundaries.
