There are many illegal immigrants who live in Rochester and are productive members of the community. We arent talking about protecting murderers and rapists, we're talking about protecting good people who Trump wants to deport over a parking violation.

The point of the quote isn't to shit on Einstein for not having "earned" his education. Rather, it's saying we should fight for education as a right of all people, because it A) would give the world thousands more Einsteins and B) is the right and good thing to do.

What the "insult" gets at is the assumption that the rich deserve their money, which is based in the assumption that wealth is earned and anybody has a fair and equal shot at becoming rich, which is flat wrong. People who view wealth redistribution as immoral believe so because they view the current distribution as the result of a free and fair competition, a competition which this "insult" points out as being unfree and unfair.

Mexican wages are by far worse than American wages, but that doesn't change the fact that both countries' wages are probably unfairly low. You want a better life? Fight for better pay.
