Stephen Miller is ignorant [View all]

Stephen Miller said, "Someone should write an alternate historical novel where Americans are the first to master the automobile, the first in flight, the first to harness the atom, the first to land on the moon — but just keep going and never open our borders to the entire third world for sixty years."


Miller added, "For those who don’t know, the US had negative migration for the half century between the first nonstop transatlantic flight and the moon landing."
That caused an eruption of comments from critics and experts alike.

Geopolitics blogger Anatoly Karlin said, "The first automobile was German, the Manhattan Project was primarily the work of immigrant Budapest Jews (the Martians), and German immigrants of dubious political provenance likewise played an important role in getting the US to the Moon."

Political scientist and right-wing personality Richard Hanania said, "America kept inventing stuff! It’s the center of global innovation, disproportionately due to immigration!"

"What planet are you living on?" he asked.
