You’re Scaring Off Our Greatest Minds, Scientists Tell Donald Trump
by Maggie Fox


An executive order pausing immigration and other travel by people from seven mostly Muslim countries is scaring away scientists, doctors and would-be entrepreneurs, biotechnology executives said Tuesday.

The letter from 165 chief executives and other top leaders at biopharma companies joins an unusual onslaught from the medical and scientific community appalled at actions being taken by the new administration of President Donald Trump.

The ban — currently suspended by federal court order — stopped refugees and other legal migrants from Iraq, Syria, Sudan and other countries deemed at high risk of terrorist activity.

"Though the ban from the Trump administration is aimed at seven countries, our global employees interpret the underlying message as, 'America is no longer welcoming of any immigrants, whatsoever,'" the executives wrote in their letter, which was published in Nature Biotechnology.

"They fear similar orders could be issued for other countries at a moment's notice. They fear being stigmatized and discriminated against, simply because of their religion, irrespective of the nation they come from."
