Are you aware the US congress consistently turned down efforts to allow more refugees from German occupied Europe in the 1930s?

The excuses were: Refugees would compete with Americans for jobs. There might be communist or Nazi infiltrators in the refugees.

A proposal to admit 20,000 CHILDREN under 14 (just 20k) was voted down in 1939. The reasoning: their parents might want to join them later, and we need to take care of our own children first and there was no guarantee that when the refugees turned adult, they would not go on welfare.

Reminder: immigration is a privilege and not a right.

Immigration can be shut down arbitrarily, for any reason.

Southern democrats: future republicans

[Dargil]

How is that true? Name me a single example of Republican racial bigotry.

[OtterMan68]

the fact you think the parties have not changed since 1860 says a lot about you.

[Dargil]

Look at history since then and not Leftist propaganda.

Yes. Republicans prevailed.

That's how it should be now with all immigrants. If you can contribute something to this country that an American can't, then you can be allowed in.

[OtterMan68]

even children and refugees? You'd have left the Jewish children in Europe to their fate. Nice.

[MisterWack]

Yup! Disgusting ain’t it?
