Michael Moore says deported migrants could have cured cancer, stopped 'asteroid that’s gonna hit us in 2032'

Filmmaker Michael Moore condemned President Donald Trump's efforts to deport illegal immigrants, suggesting the world may be missing out on incredible inventors and scientists.

"Who's really being removed by ICE tonight?" Moore asked. "The child who would've discovered the cure for cancer in 2046? The 9th grade nerd who would’ve stopped that asteroid (sic) that’s gonna hit us in 2032? Do we care?" Alexander Hall is an associate editor for Fox News Digital.

"I am grateful for that Muslim migrant baby being born here 70 years ago today. Because if he hadn’t, it’s possible we would have none of his inventions. We would also have no TED LASSO," he said.

The filmmaker declared, "For every time I have heard a negative word or blatant hatred spewed toward those who came from afar, I have felt that I should pause, get down on one knee, and thank all of those who gave up their lives elsewhere to come here and be with us."
