Original Note:
Wernher von Braun was not an illegal alien. He was offered contract work in the United States after surrendering and identifying himself in Germany, and came to the country as part of Operation Paperclip. He applied for naturalization in 1949 and was granted it in 1955. https://www.archives.gov/files/atlanta/education/chronological-topics/images/von-braun-letters.pdf https://www.nytimes.com/1977/06/18/archives/wernher-von-braun-rocket-pioneer-dies.html http://heroicrelics.org/info/rocket-team/team-at-fort-bliss.html
