\nDETROIT \u2014 Business leaders are condemning the Trump administration\u2019s decision to separate children from parents who are accused of crossing the border illegally.
The Business Roundtable, a lobbying group that includes the CEOs of Walmart Inc., General Motors Co., Boeing Co. and Mastercard Inc., released a statement Tuesday urging the immediate end to the policy.
\u201cThis practice is cruel and contrary to American values,\u201d said Chuck Robbins, the chairman and CEO of Cisco Systems Inc. and the head of the Business Roundtable\u2019s immigration committee.
The group called for comprehensive immigration reform that protects DACA recipients who arrived in the U. S. as children. The group also doesn\u2019t want to curb legal immigration, which it says helps U. S. businesses.
The Business Roundtable joined several other companies, including Microsoft and Airbnb, who have spoken out against child separations.
Must end cruel policy of separating accompanied minors from their parents \u2013 simply un-American. We need policies that reflect our values and do what\u2019s right for society. @Cisco @BizRoundtable #KeepFamiliesTogether https:\/\/t.co\/E8QZfQ6amm
