Should we have deported the "illegal" migrant Einstein?

[OddBeMe]

Yes! Illegal is illegal!

Oh, wait... imma rethink my entire world view (skip)

no but it does raise the question whether we are removing other important people by accident. we just aren't inside the process enough to know.

And then there's the other aspect which is they are human beings and being abused.

It's a sticky wicket... hopefully they are mostly treated decently. they are losing everything... all they built by violating their visas... by being thrown out... to the mess country they came from, possibly with nothing.

[Hagar88]

Albert Einstein was a refugee fleeing Nazi Germany, but he was not an "illegal" refugee. He immigrated legally to the United States in 1933.

[OddBeMe]

He overstayed his visit. We just didn't care

[Hagar88]

Albert Einstein became a U. S. citizen in 1940, seven years after fleeing Nazi Germany and taking a position at Princeton, New Jersey, having renounced his German citizenship due to the rise of Hitler and persecution of Jews. He was a German-born theoretical physicist who immigrated permanently to the United States in 1933 and was naturalized as an American citizen in October 1940.

[OddBeMe]

Wait, he immigrated permanentally... like a legal resident? Who are being arrested by ICE.

Otherwise no, he was not on a visitors visa for 7 years.

[Filthy_Immigrant]

@hagar88 dont waste your time trying to explain it to him, teaching this individual the difference between an "illegal" and an "actual immigrant" is like teaching a pig how to sing

[Hagar88]

@Filthy_Immigrant yes. Doesn't understand that Einstein as a genuine refugee wasn't able to return to Germany in the 30s and early 40s for a holiday as so many "refugees" do today.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Plus he was ALBERT EINSTEIN !!!

[Hagar88]

@beefcakebradybatson yeah wasn't Pablo the Mexican rapist

[Screenwriter]

Look like he came here sponsored by Princeton. If you're sponsored, might be a horse of a different color. He was also a refugee since he was Jewish. He renounced his German citizenship, too. And everyone knew he was coming here. So he wasn't living underground.

Doubt he was considered an illegal alien in any sense at that time. He was 1921 Nobel Laureate in physics, left Germany/Belgium/England in 1933 and was citizen by 1940.

[OddBeMe]

Would he be arrested today if he were brown skinned?

[Screenwriter]

Doubtful with his other connections with same CV, connections and contributions... But WOULD he have those connections if he were from Africa? That's the aha.

[beefcakebradybatson]

D**N SKIPPY!!!(OR shot on sight by ICE thugs !!!)

[purplepoppy]

Did you know without Trump, Einstein would be speaking German by now?

[OddBeMe]

You mean president bone spurs? No, Trump is irrelevant except for mouthing the racist shit you find compelling.

[Screenwriter]

Can't conflate Trump with Einstein. Timeline doesn't meet up. But if he hadn't left Germany when he did, he would most likely have been killed at a death camp. He got out in time.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

I forget how Einstein immigrated here but I remember spending a whole day onnit in history class. It wasn't straightforward I think he got sponsored after writing a paper that got international attention or something.

If any of that is true it's a way lower bar than what anyone's asking for today

[Telekinetic-Potato]

*higher bar

[Filthy_Immigrant]

he wasn't illegal smarty pants. it seems like you still dont know the difference between an illegal an actual immigrant.

seriously, I dont know what's a bigger disaster, your failed photoshopped profile picture or your IQ

[OddBeMe]

No he didn't. He was sponsored by a college to visit and overstayed his visa, as most "illegals" do

[Filthy_Immigrant]

yeah in your head he did, not in the real world. so go cry somewhere else

if you were SPONSORED by a school in the country you migrate to then you are obviously not going there illegally and just because it took him 7 years does not mean he OVERSTAYED.

in case you are far more retarded then I thought citizenships take a long time to aquire. I got family members that took a little over a decade to get theirs so go do some research on how immigration works before you continue to make an ass of yourself even further

[OddBeMe]

Literally says he stayed past sponsorship and eventually got citizenship.

[OddBeMe]

And my wife designed my profile pic. I'll finger her tonight whilst you masturabte feet away from your mom

[Filthy_Immigrant]

you must be reading another article, and no shit, once again citizenships takes years to aquire. they dont happen overnight, genious.

If that disaster is your wife’s best work, do her a favor and keep her off your resume. My nephew’s in second grade and designs better artwork during recess.

And you really shouldn’t be talking about anyone’s mother right now — unless you were lying during that sympathy rant you posted a few weeks ago. Which one is it?

[OddBeMe]

"Immigrated in 1933 and became a naturalized U. S. citizen on October 1, 1940, after filing a Declaration of Intention in 1936"

[Filthy_Immigrant]

Once again, Not being a citizen yet isn’t the same as being illegal—your own quote proves that, smarty pants

[Sal_Monella]

I don't even like spoon feeding you. You should know better. And you do. Albert Einstein was a political refugee. And you know how much you like political refugees. But you hate you probably hate Jews, don't you? Your favorite president, Franklin D Roosevelt turned Jews away so that they could be fried in Europe. That's what you people want. Isn't it?

[OddBeMe]

He wasn't. He was sponsored by a college and overstayed his visa.

[Anonymous]

You are comparing Einstein to the average illegal immigrant? You know Obama deported three million illegal immigrants, right? Even Biden deported hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants. It's really nothing new. Some people just always oppose everything Trump does, not matter what.

[OddBeMe]

Anymore strawman arguments before answering the q?

[slatyb]

What were the immigration laws at the time? For a long time there were no restrictions on immigration other than being free of communicable disease.

[OddBeMe]

Why does that matter? Either migrants are good or bad

[AviatorTom]

What was illegal? AFIK, Einstein entered the US through a defined entry port.

[OddBeMe]

He entered on visitors visa and overstayed. As most "illegals" do

[Mike_Hum]

Aw, you upset you can’t make brown people mow your lawn? You on the left haven’t been this upset since your slaves were freed.

[OddBeMe]

Make them? They want to asshole.

[Mike_Hum]

oh, and Einstein wasn't an illegal immigrant, so you failed twice.

[OddBeMe]

He overstayed his visa. We just didn't care back then

[Mike_Hum]

Oh trying a different lie this time.

[FunkyMonkee]

No point. He would've figured a way to get around it.

[Anonymous]

So what yoyr saying is the vile racists hating on the diverse group of ICE agents should either rethink their whole worldview or want to treat Einstein the way they treat ICE agents.

[beefcakebradybatson]

A rich white boy who can buy his way into America? BITE YOUR TONGUE !!!

[Mike_Hum]

Wow, brown people aren't capable of immigrating legally? That's quite a racist statement. Shame on you.

[OddBeMe]

@Mike_Hum no they are not

[beefcakebradybatson]

@Mike_Hum Truth hurts, eh, pard?

[Mike_Hum]

That's pretty wild the two of you are calling brown people stupid.

[OddBeMe]

@Mike_Hum not stupid. Just a racist immigration policy currently in US.

[Mike_Hum]

Do you have a learning disability?

[BonzoInBitburg]

It's Biden's fault he was allowed to stay.

[exitseven]

He would be eligible for an H-1 Visa today so no.

[OddBeMe]

Thought you fcks hated h1's?

Besides he overstayed his visa for 7 years. No one cared back then

[Anonymous]

Did he break the law? This isn't rocket science.

[OddBeMe]

He overstayed his visit, as most "illegals" do.

[Opinion Owner]

In 2024 1.5% of people overstayed their visas. So you think that less than 2% represents “most” ?

[OddBeMe]

Full of shit

"roughly 62% of newly undocumented individuals were visa overstayers, while 38% were those who crossed a border illegally."

[Opinion Owner]

What does the law say you should do with them?

[OddBeMe]

Law says running red lights is illegal. Prison?

[Kingofkings1992]

More lies from idiot lefties. Sigh
