I am extremely upset by President Trump’s executive order on immigration. It is immoral, unconstitutional, and un-American at it's core.

Users from all around the world make up Stack Overflow.

Users from the seven countries from which President Trump has banned immigration have written at least 100,000 posts on Stack Overflow.

Developers across the globe have viewed these posts 250 million times. That's a colossal amount of people sharing knowledge across borders.

Stack Overflow is successful because of the contributions of everyone. Regardless of nationality or religion. Stack Overflow would never work if it were not a free, open, and welcoming community that ignored borders.

It’s impossible not to see the parallel: the only way to build a successful world today is to allow the contributions of everyone. Carving up the world into us vs. them.

Building walls. Demonizing religions, nations, and refugees.

These are all both morally repugnant and frankly stupid and counterproductive. And it goes so much against the spirit of Stack Overflow that as a community we must speak out.
