Following Trump's executive order on entry visas, Google has ordered staff home

I highly doubt that Google has ordered all staff to come back to the US. Likely only those employees from the listed countries, or employees who are Muslim immigrants.

This is happening in every company around the country as well. I have colleagues from Iran who won't be able to travel outside the country for years, because if they do, they likely can't get back in. Colleagues who, unless something changes, will never get their visas renewed because of their nationality/faith, and will in a few years be forced to leave their homes, friends and jobs. These are dark times.

There's already extensive discussion on this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13505474

Thanks for posting davidbarker. I have asked YC to chime in on this issue: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13506412

Good news for Canada. Toronto and Vancouver are going to swell with tech talent who want the U.S. time zone without the visa hassle.
