Leftist personality Michael Moore has claimed that among the criminal illegal aliens being deported by President Donald Trump could be the person who would have found the cure for cancer.

Or discovered how to stop an asteroid that is forecast to hit Earth in 2032.

And the White House has a recommendation: He can go ahead and visit all the quantum computing and particle physics labs "that MS-13, TDA, and the cartels are now going to have to set up back home in El Salvador, Venezuela, and Mexico."

Of course the White House statement was dripping with sarcasm and it ridiculed Moore for complaining about the administration's focus on "putting our own citizens first by mass deporting illegal migrant rapists, murderers, and other criminals."

The White House, in a statement from Deputy Press Secretary Kush Desai, then noted Moore is now in contention for "the dumbest statement of the year."

Specifically, the White House reported, some of those deported of late include:

• A Portuguese national convicted of sexual exploitation of a minor, apprehended in Philadelphia.
• A Guatemalan national charged with armed home invasion, kidnapping, intimidation, and assault with a dangerous weapon, apprehended in Rhode Island.
• A Haitian national charged with three murders, apprehended in North Carolina.
• A Salvadoran national and MS-13 gang member convicted of aggravated assault with bodily injury and DWI, apprehended in Houston.
• A Guatemalan national charged with multiple counts of child rape, apprehended in Massachusetts.
• A Brazilian national and confirmed gang member convicted of assault and battery, apprehended in Boston.
• A Honduran national convicted of criminal sexual conduct with a minor, apprehended in Minnesota.

And more.

A report at Breitbart documented Moore's fretting concerned: "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 mostly is known for his anti-Trump statements as well as his work on the films "Fahrenheit 9/11," and "Bowling for Columbine."

In support of his argument, Moore pointed out Steve Jobs was the child of a "nothing-migrant."

"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," he said.
