Rampell Asks What America’s Science Would ‘Look Like Today’ if a President Placed Trump’s Immigration Policies 20 to 30 Years Ago

‘can I ask you a question about a different kind of alien?’

EXCERPT:

RAMPELL: "Before we go, can I ask you a question about a different kind of alien, which is, I am curious what you think science would look like today if 20 or 30 years ago, a president put in place the immigration policies that this president is putting in place?"

DEGRASSE TYSON: "Oh, well, so, my biggest concern there would be if an alien shows up, don’t call ICE, okay? Because I don’t know what they would do with the alien. This would be an undocumented alien on earth."

RAMPELL: "I was thinking more about the talent pipeline."
