Hundreds of tech worker said they would not do it, but I'm sure that they could find just as many that would do it. A database is pretty simple to build anyway

  It's over 1200 now. But could you find 1200 tech workers to take the other side? Yes, I think you could. 1200 is a tiny number relative to the number of engineers who agree with the pledge, and just haven't seen it yet. I think you're crazy if you think the profession as a whole is anything close to 50/50 on these issues. The American people aren't close to 50/50 on them: they oppose both mass deportation and Muslim registries by wide margins. The numbers get even starker when you restrict them to people with the educational backgrounds of Silicon Valley engineers.
