You're conflating immigration with illegal immigration.
The claim is true- the award winning scientists emmigrated to the US, legally, from the UK and from Finland.
None of them were border hopping illegal aliens, and no border hopping illegal alien has ever won a Nobel Prize..  | | | | | 7 refugees have won Nobel prizes. You can find them in this larger list. http://refugeeweek.org.uk/resources/...mous-refugees/ | This user would like to thank for this useful post: | |

| | Re: Will Trump be a Good President? | Quote: | |  | | | Read this morning that he wants to abolish birthright citizenship of babies born on US soil from non citizens.
Is this true?  | | | | | Do keep up at the back there | Quote: |  | | | In this debate I particularly love the apparent fact that the 2nd amendment is sacrosanct but the 14th apparently can be ignored at will.
Although I guess the courts might have something to say about that. | | | | | |

A vicious accuser of Justice Kavanough has just admitted that she was lying, her story was totally made up, or FAKE! Can you imagine if he didn’t become a Justice of the Supreme Court because of her disgusting False Statements. What about the others? Where are the Dems on this? | | | | | Typical Trump half truth.
Someone sent an anonymous letter to the Senate claiming Kav raped her.
Another lady later claimed she was the anonymous author but this was not true.
So we do not know if the original story was fake as Trump claims or was not.
The lady is Judy Munro-Leighton; myself I do not remember this name from the Kav case, probably she was a minor player. Source |

People generally aren't in a position to win a Nobel Prize when they are laying low, working off the books, not paying taxes, and hiding out from the INS.

Yes, I have manipulated that quote. Trump would never tweet something like that.

And you're trying to say that Im the one associating refugees and legal immigrants with criminals? When in my post I clearly mad a distinction between the two to correct your faulty logic?! |

republicans believe our country should be a sanctuary for law-abiding americans – not criminal aliens. And republicans will always stand with the heroes of @icegov, @cbp, and law enforcement! | | | | | Of course Trump was conflating criminal aliens with refugees which is why he used the word sanctuary.
sanctuary; noun, "refuge or safety from pursuit, persecution, or other danger"

| | Re: Will Trump be a Good President? | Quote: |  | | | Early voter turnout in this year’s midterm election in Texas has reportedly surpassed the entire voter turnout total in the state’s 2014 midterm election.
According to The Texas Tribune, over 4,500,000 people in Texas cast in-person ballots in this year’s early voting period and more than 360,000 people have cast mail-in ballots in 30 counties alone. | | | | | Interesting times, so who is the most motivated to vote; Dems or GOP!!

Especially in fisheries and forestry we are talking about skilled workers. You don't just take a guy off the street and put him at the wheel of an industrial fishing trawler, or give him a chainsaw and expect him to do forestry properly. People with skills like that should have no problems getting jobs legally.
