Lets see here now . . .
Prior to about 1935, Germany was the pre-eminent nation of science, and the universal language of physics was German.
Then along came Hitler and his right wing bunch: "Get rid of the (foreign) Jewish science". So the majority of them came to the US: Einstein, Ullam, van Neumann, Bohr, Teller, to name only a few. Because of this purge, after VE day, the language of physics and science became English, and the pre-eminent nation of science and physics became the US.
John van Neumann, a Hungarian Jew, developed all the fundamental mathematics necessary for the computers you and I use to throw all these brickbats at each other. "God Bless America" was written by an immigrant from what is now Belarus; helicopters, developed by immigrants from Poland (Sikorski and Piacecki); Kodachrome, developed by musicians whose parents were immigrants. I can to on at length.
And now you want summer re-runs of Nazi xenophobia right here in the good old USA, the world's melting pot, a country formed by immigrants. UC Berkeley has more Nobel laureates than any other institution of higher learning in the world, but in a pique of self-righteous harumpers on the carumpers over that Bannon-Bozo having his speech canceled, the Great Groper wants to cut off UCB's Federal funds. These clowns will wind up driving science out of the US to elsewhere: India, China, and what not. Congratulations to you and your short-sighted and selfish narrow mindedness.
You alt-right guys need to stop listening to those right wing rabble rouses who pander to your insecurities. Wake up and stop drinking their cool-aid. If you don't you're not all that much different than those who worshiped Hitler and his gang.
One thing you will never be able to get rid of are the elements Berkelium and Californium.
