Microsoft's Nadella Directly Addresses Trump Immigration Order

In a forceful rebuke to the Trump Immigration order, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said "There is no place for bias or bigotry in any society, in any context" continuing, that in own case, it was "the enlightened immigration policy of this country that even made it possible for me to come here in the first place, and gave me all this opportunity." Microsoft released Nadella's personal remarks to employees on the Trump order on Tuesday. Microsoft had already issued a strong statement on Sunday, saying "We believe the executive order is misguided and a fundamental step backwards. There are more effective ways to protect public safety without creating so much collateral damage to the country's reputation and values".
