I really have always been bewildered by this, not even just from a moral standpoint but a practical one. If you don't like immigrants then you don't like the United States! If you want a country whose core cultural values don't include immigrants you can find that but it's not here!

This is a genuine crisis that the information age and continuous feedback loops of social media cannot actually manage. Some things are actually stupid and bad but we will never run out of people willing to insist that's not true loudly and publicly

Because no one spends as much on science as the US does, destroying NIH, NSF, NOAA, NASA, EPA, USDA, USGS, etc. is leading to a brain drain, but it's not to other countries but rather from science. This senseless destruction of US science will hurt the US and the world for a very long time.
