US tech giants, including Apple, Google and Microsoft, have pledged to stand by their employees after the Trump administration scrapped an amnesty programme that granted work permits to immigrants who arrived in the country illegally as children.
US President Donald Trump yesterday scrapped an Obama-era programme known as Deferred Action for Children Arrival (DACA), a move likely to affect 800,000 undocumented workers including more than 7,000 Indian-Americans.
Microsoft and Apple are offering the most full-throated defence of “Dreamers” — undocumented individuals who have been in the US since they were young and registered with the federal government to get work permits.
