I strongly disagree with this. While I am generally pro-immigration, injecting a political view into an article ostensibly about a new scientific discovery is how science loses credibility and objectivity. See the "trust the science" phrase weaponized during COVID in the US.
Let people draw all the inferences they want about the origins of the scientists involved, but a hamfisted paragraph about a.b scientist being an immigrant from y country does not have a place here.
Also it sends a message that only scientists are welcome as immigrants. There's millions of immigrants who contribute positively to the society, who aren't scientists.
