'However strong the opposition, your words are meaningless unless they are backed up with resolute action.'

Forty-one immigration and civil rights groups signed an open letter to companies on the Fortune 500 list, urging the country's most prosperous businesses to not hire Trump administration officials involved in the separation of migrant children and parents.

It also lists several people who are no longer part of the Trump administration, including former Associate Attorney General Rachel Brand, former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly and former Attorney General Jeff Sessions. "Many of you spoke out against this barbaric policy. However strong the opposition, your words are meaningless unless they are backed up with resolute action," reads the message to the CEOs.

Undocumented immigrant Larissa Martinez speaks at a protest rally against the separation of immigrant families in front of a U.S. federal court on July 11, 2018, in Bridgeport, Connecticut. John Moore/Getty Images Newsweek contacted Apple, LinkedIn, Nike, Starbucks, Google, Amazon and AT&T — each of which received the letter — to ask whether the companies had internally discussed hiring former Trump officials, but did not hear back prior to publication. Newsweek also reached out to groups who had signed the letter but did not receive a response.

Crazy rightwingers always have to be the bad guy. Wish they'd burn lirerally.

When they enter legally...WHY is it Democrats can never discern the difference between 'Illegal immigrants' and LEGAL immigrants? Answer: because they could give a flying fluck, that's why.
