"The companies' brief argues that Trump's executive order "threatens companies' ability to attract talent, business, and investment to the United States.""

MEANing: Companies can't find cheap local talent here so they need to bring in less qualified people to take over your job. Such the support for illegals and H1B visa overstays.

From Matthew:

Then the King will tell those on his right hand, "Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me drink. I was a stranger, and you took me in. I was naked, and you clothed me. I was sick, and you visited me. I was in prison, and you came to me."

“Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you; or thirsty, and give you a drink? When did we see you as a stranger, and take you in; or naked, and clothe you? When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?'

“The King will answer them, 'Most certainly I tell you, because you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.' Then he will say also to those on the left hand, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry, and you didn’t give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink; I was a stranger, and you didn’t take me in; naked, and you didn’t clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.'

“Then they will also answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and didn’t help you?'

“Then he will answer them, saying, 'Most certainly I tell you, because you didn’t do it to one of the least of these, you didn’t do it to me.' These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

Judge Michelle Friedland is from Mountain View with a student at Gabriela Mistral Elementary in the Dual Language Program. It should be no surprise how she rules.

You know Love, there's some pretty big gates in Heaven and some mighty strong requirements to get thru those gates.

Love fest, I know it's easy to mock those of faith, but I love you all the same. We are all God's children.

You miss the point Love. I'm not mocking anything, I'm making a very salient point.
