    Not that anybody asked, but one-third (95 out of 289) of all American Nobel Prizes in the Sciences have been earned by Immigrants to the United States.pic.twitter.com/DC9Nvnt9rP

        @neiltyson I am horrified at the dialogue that resulted from your uplifting tweet. Miss the point much? Please keep on.

        Thanks. Although personally, I was more stunned than horrified. many no understanding the definition of the word “immigrant’.

        No one said don't come to the United States.... All we ask is that you do it legally. Is that to much to ask?

        My great grandpa George Bullchild said, “That’s one way of looking at it. Another way of looking at it is that 100% of American Nobel Peace Prize winners were immigrants.” #Indigenouspic.twitter.com/VcMiEh7Yux

        There were no immigration restrictions until the 1920s. The first ones were to restrict Chinese immigration. My grandparents entered the US in a time when there were no restrictions.

        If this is directed at Trump, this tweet is a fallacy. There is nothing wrong with Immigrants, Trump isn't against that. He is against ILLEGAL Immigrants. I would thing someone like you would understand something that simple

        Yeah, and they have been invited and welcomed, they didn't force the border or been smuggled into US territory to commit crimes.
