Tech executives in particular have expressed deep concern about President Trump's ban on travel by citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries. But leaders of companies across the economy are speaking out.

Immigrants have played a big role building some major U.S. companies, particularly in tech. A 2011 report from the Partnership for a New American Economy estimates that 45% of high-tech companies in the Fortune 500 were founded by first- or second-generation Americans.

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos

Bezos sent a memo to all of his employees stating, "This executive order is one we do not support," and the memo listed several actions the company was taking to opposed the order.

"We're a nation of immigrants whose diverse backgrounds, ideas, and points of view have helped us build and invent as a nation for over 240 years.... It's a distinctive competitive advantage for our country—one we should not weaken."

Coca-Cola Chairman and CEO Muhtar Kent

Kent said in a statement that "the Coca Cola (CCHGY) Company is resolute in its commitment to diversity, fairness and inclusion, and we do not support this travel ban or any policy that is contrary to our core values and beliefs."

Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan

"As a global company, we depend upon the diverse sources of talent that our teammates represent," Moynihan wrote in a memo to employees. He added, "In view of this, we are closely monitoring the recent refugee- and immigration-related executive order in the United States, and subsequent developments."

Chobani CEO Hamdi Ulukaya

"This is very personal for me," Ulukaya wrote in internal memo to his staff that was obtained by CNN. "As an immigrant who came to this country looking for opportunity, it's very difficult to think about and imagine what millions of people around the world must be feeling right now."

Uber CEO Travis Kalanick

Kalanick wrote in a Facebook post that he's committed to helping Uber drivers affected by Trump's "unjust immigration and travel ban."

"Drivers who are citizens of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria or Yemen and live in the U.S. but have left the country, will not be able to return for 90 days. This means they won't be able to earn money and support their families during this period," Kalanick said.

He added that Uber is helping those drivers by providing 24/7 legal support, compensating drivers for lost earnings, urging the government to overturn the ban and creating a $3 million legal defense fund. Uber has also created a Google doc where drivers can fill out a form to receive assistance.

Netflix CEO Reed Hastings

"Trump's actions are hurting Netflix (NFLX) employees around the world, and are so un-American it pains us all," Hastings said on Facebook (FB). "Worse, these actions will make America less safe (through hatred and loss of allies) rather than more safe."

Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz

Expedia CEO Dara Khosrowshahi

Khosrowshahi spoke of his family's emigration to the United States after the Iranian Revolution in 1978, and the sense of relief that "we were welcome now, and we would be welcome tomorrow."

He wrote to Expedia employees: "I believe that with this Executive Order, our President has reverted to the short game. The U.S. may be ever so slightly less dangerous as a place to live, but it will certainly be seen as a smaller nation, one that is inward-looking versus forward thinking, reactionary versus visionary."

Khosrowshahi pledged that Expedia would work with employees to "ease any pain or difficulties you are having" as a result of the ban.

New York Times Co. CEO Mark Thompson and Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger

"We are committed to diversity of talent, thought and ideas and the fair and equal treatment of all employees, whatever their background," they said in a memo to staff. "We will do everything in our power to support and protect every one of our colleagues, regardless of their race, country of origin, and religion or belief system."

"These employees and customers are critical to our success and they are our friends and partners," he wrote, adding that GE would "stand with them" and try to find a balance between security and "movement of law abiding people."

Immelt was one of 28 business leaders named to a council to advise Trump on manufacturing growth.

JPMorgan Chase

The bank said it has reached out to employees on sponsored visas who could be affected by the executive order. CEO Jamie Dimon is on Trump's business and economic council.

The chief of the Japanese e-commerce company tweeted that he was "very sad to see what is happening now in the U.S." Evoking his family's connections to the U.S., Mikitani said it is "wrong as a human being to uniformly discriminate based on religion and nationality."
