"Uh, Boris, 80% of the AMERICAN Nobel-Prize Winners were born in another country. Care to reconsider?"

So millions of Nobel-class scientists are invading illegally from Mexico?

And we are too blind to put them in tenured University positions, say in astrophysics or chemistry--instead forcing them to do garden work?

Tell me, genius, what fraction of immigrants are Nobel-Prize winners? What fraction are illegal immigrants?

You are way off topic. Your crab against the post was a blanket one against IMMIGRANTS, not "illegals." I know in your mind they are the same, but clue! They ain't.

Immigrants make up some of the most productive groups in America and account for our huge lead in science and tech. It was immigrants that built the a-bomb and rockets. Don't try to wiggle out of your post against immigrants by now saying you meant "illegals," because that wasn't what the original poster said. He WENT ON to talk about illegals.
