Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and a group of Silicon Valley chiefs have come out in official support of President Obama's executive actions that seek to protect undocumented immigrants.
The biggest names in Silicon Valley, including Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Marissa Mayer and more, have spoken up against Trump's proposal for deporting millions of immigrants in a new FWD.us campaign called "11 Million Stories."
FWD.us, the Association for a Better New York and New York University hosted an "Immigration Reform for New York State in the 21st Century Economy" panel moderated by Time Warner Cable News NY1 Noticias' "Pura Politica" anchor Juan Manuel Benitz. "Right now, immigration reform is incredibly political," said FWD.us National Organizing Director Lisa Conn, adding, "It's one of those issues that you might offend someone if you talk about it because it's so political."
The immigration reform movement just got a very large, and very high tech, supporter. Mark Zuckerberg, the billionaire founder of Facebook, has publicly stated his desire to help push immigration reform through his advocacy group FWD.us.
