Apple CEO Tim Cook has sent a reassuring message to the company's employees, particularly those in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. During an all-hands meeting, Cook claimed he will personally advocate for Apple employees who are part of DACA and that he will continue to lobby lawmakers on immigration issues. His statements came as some of Donald Trump's closest allies have expressed differing views on immigration.
Cook's comments echo his long-standing advocacy for the importance of attracting top talent from around the world. He stated that Apple has become a "smarter, wiser, more innovative company" due to its diverse workforce. This stance is in contrast to some right-wing tech billionaires who have publicly expressed concerns about immigration.
However, it's worth noting that Cook has also maintained a friendship with Trump, despite their differing views on certain issues. The two have been photographed together at various occasions, including a White House meeting where Cook gifted Trump a custom-made Apple item.
Cook's message to his employees appears to be a call to action for those in the DACA program to feel comfortable and supported by the company. He explicitly stated that "no one should feel this way" and expressed his support for employees who are part of the program, saying "I love you if you're on DACA."
