Immigration is good thing
RhorGath
I love legal immigration. We have cool shit and want to know about your cool shit. It's the "illegal" bit that I don't like.

Yes, Immigration IS a good thing...WHEN DONE LEGALLY.

Nazis would have had nukes ... good that he didnt go back

He was not the only scientist between 1935-45
BayazTheBenevolent
No but the majority of know-how behind the Manhattan Project came from Germany. The same is true for NASA.
Imnotu
Immigration is a great thing. See in this picture, these are people becoming citizens. Spread the word.

He is one of the most mystical of scientists too. Read all his quotes, not just the ones that support mathematics. Rich Jews also stayed.

What if the next Einstein is somewhere in Syria waiting to earn his refugee status?
Zyhmdaryhm
What if the next Einstein is somewhere in muslim bombing, or in the way of the truck of peace?

At least she doesn't have his mustache.

LEGAL immigration is a good thing. In case it hasn't been said enough...

Albert Einstein had only one daughter who was born in 1902 and died in 1903.
Mavgurian
The whole post is bull. "Rather" a US-citizen ... his family was jewish, wonder why he would not want to go back ...

Immigration is supposed to be a beautiful thing. A life goal an honor a achievement. Maybe we can get that back ... We all deserve it.
Zyhmdaryhm
Feel free to fullfill your life goal, be honored and reach your achievements by emigrating to someplace elsewhere.

*Educated, value-sharing, society contributing, assimilating immigration is a good thing.

Assimilating to what?

ratfaceddog
What do you see as definitive "western culture?" Do you conform to it 100%?

ratfaceddog
You're conflating legal matters with cultural ones, though. "Assimilating" to laws is a given. You've still not said what "elements" 1/2
BayazTheBenevolent
I wonder, would you kick out US born citizens that don't fit the above mentioned criteria?
BayazTheBenevolent
How big of a percentage of a population does it take to define what values are desirable? What happens to those that disagree?

Youropinionisirrelevant
Right! Legal immigration! There's the difference!
GreaterDog
So keeping them out would've been fine if FDR/Truman had signed a travel ban?
Youropinionisirrelevant
Is that what we're talking about is a travel ban? NO! Legally immigrated! There wasn't a threat of terrorism like there is now!!!
ScientistFromSouth
How about the possibility of German spies getting positions in military labs? A lot of German scientists worked on the atom bomb.
GreaterDog
The US was generally reluctant to accept any Jewish refugees, especially with the knowledge of the death camps not coming to light until
GreaterDog
after the war. Many got in, but thousands were turned away. The Japanese, on the other hand, got the painful pleasure of Uncle Sam's shaft
GreaterDog
They came as refugees, not job-seekers. You're aware of Trump's travel ban, right? So yes, that is what we're talking about. Plus, you can't
Youropinionisirrelevant
No we're talking about lethal immigration
GreaterDog
tell me people weren't wary of the threat of immigrants when they mass-jailed Japanese-Americans. Legality can be nullified by a piece of
Youropinionisirrelevant
But in today's world how can you tell the enemy of the state from the "refugees"??!! You can't. The travel ban is to protect the public!!!
GreaterDog
paper, but the morality doesn't change. But your use of exclamation points tells me we're not gonna have a proper conversation here.

Legal immigration is good all for it. Illegal immigration not so good
UltimateBooty
Illegal immigration is often hard to define and sometime impossible to avoid for some people

ice has been known to literally wait outside courts waiting for people trying to get visas approved
BayazTheBenevolent
The old legal / illegal argument never fails to anger me. As if legality somehow makes something automatically morally right.
LizardEnterprises
So if Anne Frank had jumped off a boat and swam ashore illegally rather than getting gassed to death, that would be bad?
CrunkleRas
No it would not. That's not what he's implying either. Dont take it out of context.
LizardEnterprises
1/2 Dude made a blanket statement. He didn't say "Illegal immigration is USUALLY not so good" he said " Illegal immigration not so good"
LizardEnterprises
3/3 a shitty job making his argument by not being specific about what he means. Either of those merits being challenged.
Zyhmdaryhm
He is implying that illigal imigrants are quantuum physicists.
LizardEnterprises
2/3 He's either implying that there's no situation in which illegal immigration is justified - a morally abhorrent stance - or he's doing
septillion
Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal. Don't assume that breaking the law is always bad, or following it good.
CrunkleRas
Nothing you do is illegal if you control the government...
septillion
which is why legality isn't a good way to decide if something is moral or not.
DrParasek
never forget that there were countries which only took the high educated or rich people and the rest died. ...
dighthorse
never forget, because someday we should go back to that way
AninOnin
We're still doing that.

British politicians refused entry to a shipload of 300 Jews.
DemonsPain88
And Venezuela, America and Canada all refused 900 jews from a boat. It was sent back.
watchmetoast
True

Even worse, universities like Harvard and Columbia had a Jewish quota — a lot of the highly educated European escapees were of course Jews.

my grandfather, an American-born Jew, was denied entry into Columbia for that very reason.

And now they have Asian quotas. If you want your students to be representative of the entire population, you'll have to use quotas. Pick.

Sweden is doing its best atm to reverse those stats... We got the best of the best

rocketman89
Lol, so those 4.5 *MILLION* Irish immigrants came because they were Rhodes Scholars and not victims of the famine?
ChuckNorrisAteMySock
Doing the right thing once does not absolve one of their responsibility to keep doing it.
rocketman89
I agree 100%; I just don't agree with the patently false accusation that American has been unfair to immigrants in the past.
thegreatalan
It has, frequently in fact, however one such as yourself will probably scoff at any notion beyond your own parroting mouth.
geauxjeaux
No country takes in more immigrants. Just try to become a citizen of Japan, Saudi Arabia, etc.
riddlemehiddleston
Yeah but Irish immigrants were treated like shit, they were considered cheap work force and worth less than black slaves
pdxenburg
Weren't most of the atrocities against Jews only found out after the war? That's gotta take some of the heat off
StarkRG
It was known they were being murdered by the tens of thousands, that they underestimated by two orders of magnitude lets them off the hook?
SatansLover
Sure.. but there was also loads of antisemitism at the time. Even in the US. People really hated Jews.
AlecCorvander
Hitler called Jewish people a disease and said in no uncertain terms that his desire was to eradicate Jews. (1/)
AlecCorvander
No heat gets taken off. Fuck those racist shit heads then and fuck them now. The only consolation is some of the world learned that (2/)
