A Statement from Apollo Mapping on President Trump’s Immigration Ban

“If the ban were announced with a one week notice, the “bad” would rush into our country during that week. A lot of bad “dudes” out there!” 

A tweet by President Drumpf in regards to his immigration and refugee executive order.

Apollo Mapping is proud to employ immigrants. There are no caveats and this requires no explanation.

We will continue to hire the most qualified candidates without discrimination or bias. We refuse to be those whom we condemn for violence and prejudice towards ‘others.’ We are a people made stronger by our differences, made whole by our collective humanity. We stand against the broad generalization of immigrants and refugees as ‘the bad.’ As Americans, the vast majority of us are the long sons and daughters of immigrants, those seeking shelter and a better life in a promised land. Having secured this promise we now seek to sequester ourselves. Bolstered by fear and self-aggrandizement, we reserve these freedoms and security for ourselves alone. In doing so, our values disintegrate and we forget who we really are and from which we came. So look back, unhindered from self-righteousness, at how America was made great by immigrants like us.
