Deportation:Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg Says America is a country of Immigrants

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg made a post today in support of Obama’s executive actions to prevent illegal immigrants from being deported.  In the post, he said it is quite unfortunate that millions of young talents who could have contributed to the nation's development are stigmatized and discarded yearly. While being careful not to use the word 'illegal' but instead he chose to refer to them as 'undocumented,' Zuckerberg then goes on to explain how when he was teaching a class, some of his 'best students' were in this unfortunate category of 'undocumented immigrants' and because they were in the country illegally, they could be denied the chance to go to college.His post have however, generated comment from critics who saw it rather as an insult to the country.
Read his unabridged post below:

Today I joined 60 technology leaders in supporting President Obama’s executive actions to prevent undocumented immigrant children from being deported.
As I travel around the world, I see many nations turning inwards. I hear growing voices for building walls and distancing people labeled as "other". Whether it's refugees, undocumented immigrants or underrepresented minorities, I hope we have the wisdom to understand that the best path forward is always to bring people together, not divide them.

I hope we find the compassion and courage to give everyone a fair shot, to treat everyone with respect and dignity, and do what we can to make this world better for all people -- not just people who look like us or live near us.

A few years ago I taught a class on entrepreneurship at a local middle school. Some of my best students were undocumented. Because of that, they weren't sure if they would be able to go to college. These are smart and hardworking kids who could grow up to be leaders in their communities and in the world. But despite having lived in the US for as long as they can remember, they could be denied the chance to participate fully in the life of our country and reach their potential.
We are a nation of immigrants. We are one world. And we are all connected. We must have the humanity to welcome in these children and to bring people together -- and that's what we told the Supreme Court today.
