DREAMers make our country, community, and company stronger. Their protection is both a humanitarian obligation and an economic imperative. The clock is running and Congress needs to act. We are proud to partner with @Princeton to uphold #DACA. http://msft.social/JTpS7D

Replying to @BradSmi @Princeton
Thank you for this strong statement in support of DACA. On 3/31, Microsoft made a $10,000 donation to Mitch McConnell, the Senate majority leader who is keeping DACA legislation from a floor vote. Which of these represents Microsoft's true position, your tweet or the donation?pic.twitter.com/jswubisscl

Also on 3/31, Microsoft made a $3000 campaign donation to Bradley Byrne, whose issues statement includes a promise to use "any means necessary" to stop migrants, and who in 2017 applauded the rescission of DACA in a public statement: https://byrne.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/byrne-supports-ending-unlawful-immigration-program …pic.twitter.com/Coo4YnwGym

A month earlier, on 2/19, Microsoft made a separate $3000 donation to Mr. Byrne's congressional campaign, the night before he announced he would be challenging Doug Jones for the Senate seat. How do you reconcile Microsoft's support for Mr. Byrne with your stated support of DACA?

Finally, on May 31, Microsoft made a $2,500 donation to Big Sky Opportunity PAC, whose beneficiaries in 2019 include Ben Sasse, Steve Daines, Mitch McConnell, and Cindy Hyde-Smith, all DACA opponents. If this is an important issue to Microsoft, why do you bankroll your opponents?
