The images from the warehouses and tent camps along the Southern Texas border where thousands of immigrant children have been detained after being separated from their parents are powerful. Now, top executives and CEOs of American companies such as Apple, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs and others are condemning the Trump administration’s policy. SVP Nick Peters was quoted in the CNN Money article, “CEOs call out Trump’s ‘heartless, cruel’ border policy” about how companies should be cautious when commenting on volatile topics.
Nicholas Peters, senior vice president of CommCore Consulting Group, said that companies have to be careful when commenting on such a fraught issue as immigration. “I think they’re waiting a little bit to see how this plays out,” he said.
“When you’re dealing with an extremely emotional and potentially toxic subject,” he continued, “companies have to be really careful.”
