From Breitbart: Michael Moore is expressing concern that President Donald Trump’s administration may be deporting illegal immigrants with the potential to make huge scientific breakthroughs, like curing cancer or stopping an asteroid on a path to decimate Earth.
“Who’s really being removed by ICE tonight? The child who would’ve discovered the cure for cancer in 2046? The 9th grade nerd who would’ve stopped that Astroid [sic] that’s gonna hit us in 2032?” Moore wrote in a Substack post published Tuesday.
In an attempt to make his point, the Fahrenheit 9/11 director went on to cite the father of late Apple CEO Steve Jobs, Abdulfattah Jandali, who was born in Syria.
“We get nothing from that Syrian Muslim who sired a Jr. Abdulfattah. A nothing-migrant with a nothing-out-of-wedlock-baby,” Moore wrote. “Except… that ‘nothing-baby’ was soon adopted and given an American name — Steve Jobs. Yes, that Steve Jobs.”
“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,” Moore continued, adding, “We would also have no TED LASSO.”
In his op-ed, Moore mocked conservatives’ concerns about the illegal alien invasion of the United States. In doing so, he tossed up the old Democrat talking point claim that there are only 11 million illegal aliens in the country, when that many entered during the Biden administration alone.
“So here we are now, in 2025, with at least 11 million “illegal” migrants roaming about this hallowed land, driving on our roads, getting God-knows how much free welfare, free blankets, free Federal surplus cheese, free use of 9-1-1 and our public libraries while the rest of us have to work and pay taxes for all of this,” Moore wrote mockingly.
Moore posted his op-ed on X, and touted Steve Jobs’ story to argue in favor of open borders.
“70 years ago, on February 24, 1955, in San Francisco, California, a son was born to Abdulfattah Jandali, a Syrian Muslim who had entered the United States and enrolled at the University of Wisconsin,” Moore wrote.
“This little story, I hope, will give pause to any bigot who constantly rails against the danger we are all in because of these “filthy, lowlife aliens.” Those of us who count ourselves as part of the “non-hater” demographic of Americans cannot even begin to add up or ascertain the innumerable ways our lives have been made better by our beloved immigrant neighbors. Or how many lives have been saved because of their discoveries, or simply, their care for us in an emergency situation,” Moore claimed.
