Black Rifle Coffee Company, founded by veteran Evan Hafer, is responding to Starbuck's CEO Howard Schultz' pledge to hire 10,000 refugees.

Schultz' announcement came after President Trump's executive order temporarily barring refugees and visa holders from seven terror ridden countries. In response,

Hafer says he wants to “shift the conversation away from foreign policy to domestic issues that hit closer to home,” and therefore vows to hire 10,000 veterans at his company.

Hafer said Black Rifle Coffee cares about Family, Business, Veterans and Country and, he says “when we say ‘country, (we mean) the taxpayers. Everyone else can take a hike.”

According to the Department of Labor, the unemployment rate for veterans is 4.6 percent.
