White House Criticizes Michael Moore's Immigration Comments

The Trump White House has criticized filmmaker Michael Moore for his recent remarks suggesting that deporting undocumented immigrants could result in losing potential innovators who might cure cancer or avert disasters. Moore's comments, made in a blog post, prompted the administration to label his statement as a 'strong contender for dumbest statement of the year,' emphasizing that many deported individuals are criminals with serious offenses. White House spokesman Kush Desai countered Moore's hypothetical scenario, insisting that the administration prioritizes the safety of American citizens over the potential contributions of deported migrants. The White House further highlighted several violent crimes committed by undocumented individuals to justify its immigration policies. Moore, who has long criticized Trump, did not respond to the White House's critiques.
