I guess that this is the problem with a blanket ban of people from entire countries - you don't just ban the refugees that you're targeting, but also the workers that are valuable to U.S. based companies in this global economy. I'm not sure if this administration will learn from the consequences of policies that far over-reaching what they're meant to target and then subsequently dial things back a little so they can achieve the same goals without as much chaos left in their wake, or whether the chaos is the goal and we'll get 4 years of this sort of thing. Oh well. As they say, life goes on...

there is no legal challenge, the President is allowed to protect the citizens of the US and has no obligation to any foreign country.

there is no legal challenge

No one said there is. As it says in the article:

A group of technology companies plans to meet on Tuesday to discuss filing an amicus brief in support of a lawsuit

The tech companies have an easy fix to the Chump problem; they can move much of their operations to Vancouver, British Columbia. Canada still has a sane government, and the tech companies will have ready access to the world's best and brightest, which they absolutely need in order to thrive in the modern world.

The Alternative Right, with their Alternative Reality, thinks that stemming access to immigrants will mean more Americans can get jobs in Silicon Valley. In actuality, any Americans who can do the jobs in the tech industry are already hired before they even get out of university. Hiring unqualified Americans is not the answer.

Chump's guru, Bannon, has stated that allowing fewer foreigners to work in Silicon Valley will mean more jobs for Americans. Banning immigrants is sold to Chump's base under the premise of making America safe, but that is just B.S. The Alt Right delusionally thinks that this is how one puts Americans back to work, but all they are really doing is destroying American democracy and business.

Canadian newspapers are already announcing this as a great opportunity for Canadian tech companies.

And at the same time, we can still admit people from any other country that wants to abide by our laws, this is by no means the end of the US not even close, but congrats to our Canadian brethren that choose to deal with these refugees, more power to you and your patience.

This whole thing may end up being challenged all the way to the Supreme Court - some states Attorney-General are already filing

Some military veterans also don't like that their promises are being broken to the Arab translators and their families who risk their lives siding with the US military

Then good thing it isn't a blanket ban.

Hiring unqualified Americans is not the answer.

Why not? The Left has required schools and companies to take less qualified or even unqualified applicants for years in the belief that it IS the answer.

No promises are being broken. The EO allows review on a case by case basis. With proper review and vetting the translators can enter the US. But more importantly promises and policies of the last President are often if not usually changed with a new President. Same thing happens with companies every day.

Tech companies complaint because they could not find any cheap labor to exploit. When I was in US working, many of my co-workers simply fed up with the companies of making them train them replacement from another continent for a much lower labor cost. And, it is not like, they are doing anything better. Ended up we had to clean up their messes.

They legally can not challenge it, unless they want to challenge the constitution which is a massive undertaking. They only goal is to delay as any lawyer knows legally Trump can do this as Obama also did it (one country not 8) with no protests for some odd reason
