Brad Smith, Microsoft's president and chief legal officer, said on Tuesday that he fears a "tough summer" is ahead, with respect to immigration issues like the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

The Trump Administration has sought to end DACA, an Obama-era policy that provides legal protection for young immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children. Microsoft has advocated the protection of DACA and has more broadly supported immigration as a way to make sure U.S. companies are hiring talented people.
