I don't think that this EO is applied to holders of valid green cards in the US but definitely people on visas like H1B are definitely to be affected but I think that a company of the size of Google could make some arrangements as a quick remedial to situation by transferring some to other countries where they have operations to work from there till they figure out how to handle this situation going forward.
- TuringNYC 10y agoApplies to all aliens, which includes GC holders: According to NY Daily News: "Within hours of President Trump’s executive order limiting immigration from Muslim countries, green card and visa holders were already being blocked from getting on flights to the U.S." http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/trump-order-blocks-green-card-visa-holders-airports-article-1.2957910 http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/trump-order-blocks-...
- gotchange 10y agoI have read the full text of the EO and I couldn't find any reference to this applied to GC holders. Can you please point me to the paragraph or item in the EO where it mentions this?
- maxerickson 10y agoI'm pretty sure that entry using a Green Card is an "Immigration Benefit".
- gotchange 10y agoYeah issuing/renewing a GC constitutes an "Immigration Benefit" but denying the entry of a GC holder should not be covered by this EO. DISCLAIMER: Not a lawyer or even paralegal. Take this opinion of mine with a grain of salt.
- maxerickson 10y agoThe ability to reenter the US without a Visa or entry permit is a benefit of the Green Card. Those benefits have been suspended.
- TuringNYC 10y agoAnother benefit of holding a green card: Global taxation on all global income, paid to the USA and enforced globally via FATCA: https://www.irs.gov/businesses/corporations/foreign-account-tax-compliance-act-fatca https://www.irs.gov/businesses/corporations/foreign-account-... There are numerous permanent residents who pay (or are forced to pay) US taxes on all global income, for the privilege of holding a Green Card and being a permanent resident.
- denzil_correa 10y agoSection 3(c) of the EO says > I hereby suspend entry into the United States, as immigrants and nonimmigrants, of such persons for 90 days from the date of this order (excluding those foreign nationals traveling on diplomatic visas, North Atlantic Treaty Organization visas, C-2 visas for travel to the United Nations, and G-1, G-2, G-3, and G-4 visas). Therefore, it excludes everyone from those countries apart from the mentioned exceptions. The exception list does not include a GC holder. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/27/us/politics/refugee-muslim-executive-order-trump.html https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/27/us/politics/refugee-musli...

- gotchange 10y agoI must say that I was stunned to read about these reports as I was thinking that the worst part of this despicable EO was singling out Syrian refugees for an indefinite ban from entering the US followed by the fake concern for the welfare of women and religious minorities in the ME by instructing the AG to publicly shaming wife beaters only of foreign nationals but to deny entry to legal permanent resident who went through all the vetting procedures and hoops is just equally despicable as banning Syrian refugees indefinitely.
- ComputerGuru 10y agoPeople have lives, friends, and family. Not just work.
- gotchange 10y agoYeah true but I was arguing while in the shoes of Google not people affected by this decision.
- ComputerGuru 10y agoGoogle will be fine. This is a humanitarian crisis, not (yet) an economic one.
