title: COMCAST GIVES EMPLOYEES Day Off To PROTEST TRUMP’S Pro-American Immigration Policy…CTO Compares Trump To Venezuelan Dictator Hugo Chavez
text: Wow! I was just getting ready to switch our TV, internet and phone service to Comcast from AT&T. It looks like we ll be sticking with AT&T after all. It s interesting how many CEO s of major companies in America are not really all that interested in putting America first. Trump s immigration policy, designed to protect our nation from future terror attacks, has shined a light on these CEO s and has made it possible for the American consumer to choose companies who take our national security seriously NBC s corporate parent, Comcast, is joining the corporate backlash against President Donald Trump s popular immigration reform, partly prodded by the company s Indian-born Chief Technology Officer, Sree Kotay.The company provided employers at its Philadelphia headquarters time off on Thursday to protest Trump s popular policy, which is designed to reduce the inflow of costly refugees and to exclude migrants carrying  hostile attitudes.  Company protests were also expected in Washington D.C., New York and California.Trump s new policy seeks to exclude people who:do not support the Constitution, or those who would place violent ideologies over American law   those who engage in acts of bigotry or hatred (including  honor  killings, other forms of violence against women, or the persecution of those who practice religions different from their own) or those who would oppress Americans of any race, gender, or sexual orientation.Trump underlined the pro-American nature of his reform today, saying at the National Prayer Breakfast that;Our nation has the most generous immigration system in the world. But there are those who would exploit that generosity and undermine the values that we hold so dear. We need security. There are those who would seek to enter our country  to spread violence or oppressing other people based upon their faith.We will not allow  intolerance to spread in our nation  So in the coming days we will develop a system to make sure those admitted into our country fully embrace our values of religious and personal liberty and that they reject any form of oppression and discrimination. We want people to come into our nation but we want people to love us and love our values. Not hate us and hate our values.In Philadelphia, the 45-minute protest against the  hostile attitudes  policy was held just after lunch.Employees of Comcast in Philadelphia are walking out in protest against trumps immigration order. pic.twitter.com/hk69WdH088  Bianca Portillo (@BiancaAmarilis) February 2, 2017The growing campaign by corporations   including Google, Starbucks, Amazon, Lyft and Netflix   against the newly elected president and his immigration reform is shaped by their bottom-line desire to raise the inflow of immigrant consumers and cheap workers.But the corporate backlash is also boosted by sympathy from many top-level managers   both native-born and immigrant   towards striving migrants, regardless of the migrants  political or ideological views.Comcast s Kotay, for example, arrived in the United States as a child and worked his way to the top of the nation s high-tech sector, alongside other Indian immigrants who now running Google and Microsoft. In his Twitter account, he describes himself as  comcast. chief technology officer. immigrant. Kotay made his political sympathies clear in a message to his employees, in which he appears to described the elected President as  the enemy,  and also suggests that Trump is similar to now-dead Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez.The screenshot was leaked to a radio station, New Jersey 101.5.Kotay s Twitter feed also shows his personal dislike of Trump s policies, which may end up reducing the inflow of Indian-born migrants and contract-workers into the United States.#include #techhasnowalls https://t.co/jopiMpbBet  sree kotay (@sreekotay) February 1, 2017Trump s policy is designed to exclude  hostile immigrants,  including those who reject the U.S. constitution or who support violence via Islamic holy war or  jihad.  The new policy would also exclude people who endorse  honor killings  of women and girls, which is a widespread problem in India and a growing problem in the United States.Like many other progressive advocates, Kotay praises immigrants while downplaying the accomplishment of ordinary Americans, who either birthed most of Comcast s workforce and customers, and or remain the vast majority of Comcast s employees and customers.Those who would surrender liberty in the name of security deserve neither. pic.twitter.com/eF3bR6Mdw7  sree kotay (@sreekotay) January 28, 2017For entire story go to: Breitbart News
