The founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, has blasted President Donald Trump of the United States, on his move to deport immigrants from the United States.
Zuckerberg said this after Trump announced his plan to deport 3 million immigrants.
In his reaction, the multi billionaire stated that his great grandparents where from Germany, Austria and Poland while his wife Priscilla’s parents were refugee from China and Vietnam.
The Facebook founder wrote on his page: “My great grandparents came from Germany, Austria and Poland. Priscilla’s parents were refugees from China and Vietnam. The United States is a nation of immigrants, and we should be proud of that.
“Like many of you, I’m concerned about the impact of the recent executive orders signed by President Trump.
“We need to keep this country safe, but we should do that by focusing on people who actually pose a threat.
“Expanding the focus of law enforcement beyond people who are real threats would make all Americans less safe by diverting resources, while millions of undocumented folks who don’t pose a threat will live in fear of deportation.
“We should also keep our doors open to refugees and those who need help. That’s who we are. Had we turned away refugees a few decades ago, Priscilla’s family wouldn’t be here today.
“That said, I was glad to hear President Trump say he’s going to “work something out” for Dreamers — immigrants who were brought to this country at a young age by their parents.
