Is the Republican opposition to immigration reminiscent of Germans toward Jews in Nazi Germany?

Answer 1

No

Not even remotely

Besides, its not immigration people are opposed to. It's criminals acts which include illegal immigration.

Answer 2

It is more reminiscent of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1880 whereby Chinese were expelled and excluded from Immigration until China became an ally during the second world war.

It led to the interesting case of Won Kim Ark v. United States, where it was found that a Chinese child born in the USA who had returned to China with his parents was a US citizen, and under the 14th Amendment immigration laws could not be used to exclude a citizen simply on the basis of ancestry or dual nationality.

Of course Germans had stripped Jews who were born in Germany of their citizenship, and then deported them. They assisted half of them to emigrate to other countries, then began deporting them to ghettos in Poland where they were eventually starved or murdered in the camps. And they still missed about 10% of them.

I think there is a qualitative difference. But it is interesting that it took a dictatorial society with a very effective police force, investigators, random identity checks on the streets, about a decade 1933-1943, to find and deport a half a million Jewish Illegal aliens. How do you think we could ever find and deport 12 million?

Answer 3

No.

The Nazis didn't want Jews - who were already German citizens - as source of cheap labor, for instance.

Similarly, the Republicans have no creadible hope of getting anyone into concentration camps. The Democrats managed to get people into concentration camps in WWII, but that was under the pretext of there being fifth-columnists among the Japanese. The Republicans can't even get Muslims into concentration camps when around a quarter of them admit to polsters that they sympathize with Al Qaeda and consider suicide bombing justifiable. Heck, they didn't even /try/. Do you think they'll really be able to do the Poland thing to Mexico?

Answer 4

Not the least. Illegal immigrants are law breakers and should be treated as such.
Read your history; the Jews were already living in Germany when Germany became Nazi. The persecution had nothing to do with where they were living or where they came from; it was based completely on their religion.
Whatever religion the immigrants have, that religion is already being practiced in America.
The thing agains immigrants is simply based on their being crooks and outlaws.

Answer 5

No, its not. Jews were not coming into Germany by over 1 million people a year. Why does everyone keep comparing the united states to Nazi Germany? Did you know that if hitler would have died 4 years before he did, he would have been noted as the best leader the world has ever seen?

Answer 6

What republican opposition to immigration?

Or do you mean opposition to illegal immigration?

On the other hand, if China put 80 million chinese on ships and sent them to the US, do you think we should let that 80 million chinese in the country??

For some reason, I'll bet you wouldn't agree to that.

So whats the difference between 80 million chinese and 10 million illegal mexicans ?

I find it interesting, that illegal immigration supporters have never ask that the legal immigration quota for central and south american countries be increased.

Answer 7

To be disrespectful to so many people who suffered and died is unschooled. If you are comparing the ethnic cleansing of a race to having illegal immigrants bypass the law and cheat the people who do the right thing on obtaining legal status shows a irresposibilty and unconscionable aptitude.Some of us Democrats are against this bill as well.

Answer 8

no, you idiot! the illegals came here ILLEGALLY!! why is it that any cause that you damm-fool liberals support that is opposed by conservatives automatically reminiscent of Nazi Germany? and just how much do you know about that?

my parents fled Hitler in 1935...came to the US LEGALLY, and were proud to learn the language and become AMERICANS...not hyphenated like you stupid liberals like today...just red white and blue, and very glad to be here, considering that the leftist Nazi Party in the Fatherland exterminated all my mom's family, from the babies to the grannies...and i was raised on a steady diet of understanding what happened there from people who saw it with their own eyes...y9ou crybabies know NOTHING about it, but use it as a tool for your own mindless propaganda...you're worse than Goebbels..at least he didn't deny what he was!

if you have a car accident with an illegal, and they suddenly 'no habla' when the police show up, or more likely, just disappear, leaving you holding the bag...or is one of your kids is hit by a DUI Mexican ( and they drive drunk a LOT!! ) then you will suddenly change your attitude.

Answer 9

I don't think so. I think that both liberal and republicans just love to argue from the two most extreme sides. Republicans recognize that you can't continue to let thousands of people come into the country each year without any accounting or limitation. At the same time liberals recognize that for the people who are here they must be treated with respect and basis assistance, such as health care. Both are right, but liberals and republicans just love to argue with each other so much that they never try to truly find a compromise.

Answer 10

OMG, are you serious? The Jews were legal citizens of those countries, they owned businesses, paid taxes and contributed to society. Hitler did not like their race, so he wanted to get rid of them.

The illegals in the USA ARE NOT citizens, they DO NOT pay taxes, they DO NOT contribute to society and it does not matter where are from, they ALL need to be deported!

So, no, big difference.

Answer 11

I was thinking more in line with causing Old Mexico and Canadians to become part of the US. This could be a defining moment for all of us. Grin.
