Microsoft offering legal help to employees affected by immigration order

Microsoft told us that it is already providing legal assistance to its employees affected by this: “We share the concerns about the impact of the executive order on our employees from the listed countries, all of whom have been in the United States lawfully, and we’re actively working with them to provide legal advice and assistance.”
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella spoke out in favor of immigration in a post on LinkedIn. “As an immigrant and as a CEO, I’ve both experienced and seen the positive impact that immigration has on our company, for the country, and for the world. We will continue to advocate on this important topic,” Nadella said.
Nadella also shared a memo from Microsoft’s chief legal officer Brad Smith, in which Smith revealed that at least 76 Microsoft employees are affected by Trump’s order. “But there may be other employees from these countries who have U.S. green cards rather than a visa who may be affected, and there may be family members from these countries that we haven’t yet reached,” Smith added. Smith said he and Nadella would answer employee questions during a question-and-answer session on Monday.

Read that as well.
It's a damned if you do, "damned if you don't" scenario.
Trump doesn't want the flood gates open to create a similar situation like in Germany. The result is a few bad apples slipping through the cracks and another terrorism attack occurs.
People voted for him for this very reason.
At the same time, good people that have families in this country and live in these areas can't get in and makes us look like assholes. Results are more protests, lawsuits and companies CYAing themselves because many have employed illegals that fall into this travel ban category.
I firmly believe that a new system will be put into place so these bans will be less strict soon.
Trump also acts fast so I'm sure they're working on a plan so this will be temporary.
