Washington – Attorney General Jeff Sessions called comparisons of U.S. border policies for illegal immigrants to Nazi policies a “real exaggeration.”

“In Nazi Germany, they were keeping the Jews from leaving the country,” Sessions said Monday night on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle,” adding “but this is a serious matter.”
“We need to think it through, be rational and thoughtful about it. We want to allow asylum for people who qualify for it, but people who want economic migration for their personal financial benefit and what they think is their family’s benefit is not a basis for a claim of asylum.”
Comparisons to Nazi Germany and the Holocaust have been rife in the days since the government’s zero-tolerance policy was reported, and reports from the detention centers have been aired showing children inside chain-link cages and crying for their parents.
Sessions said the children who are being separated from their illegal migrant parents at the border under the zero-tolerance policy are not being mistreated and are living in good conditions in immigrant detention centers.
“We are taking care of these children; they are not being abused,” Sessions said. “We’ve had a big surge of families bringing children or some adults bringing children with them.”
Reports surfaced last week that U.S. border patrol officers told parents that they were taking their children away for a bath and then not bringing them back, which is similar to Jews being told in the Holocaust that they were going to shower but instead were taken to gas chambers and their death, lending itself to such comparisons.
White supremecist evangelical xtian Secession last week quoted the ‘new testament’ stating his god tells humans to follow all human laws. Like the Nurenberg Laws. Like the French Pope’s laws to burn the Talmuds. Like the Brit laws to keep Churban survivors from migrating to Brit Palestine. Like Toxic Trumpf’s law (not the Dem’s) to round up, arrest, separate and mass deport immigrant refugees. Laws are OK with Secession, as long as they hurt Latin American refugees. Maybe the USA should have executed the rebel confederate traitors in 1865. But we didn’t, on humanitarian grounds. Too bad. Maybe Secessions wouldn’t have been born.
its not ‘A REAL EXAggeration’. it totaly uncomparable stoopid.
how do we know? 1st and for most it has hashomer ysmar & co say so then already we know…STOP TRIVILIZING what the what the worst demons on earth since creation 5778 years ago (not as hashomer & co say millions of…)did to the jews. To #1 maybe US should execute guys like u who undermine the ICE and they cant protect us from terrorist who smuggle into US with fake children etc
Exaggerated or not, the comparison speaks for itself .
We Yidden should look at this with anxiety and tears in our eyes.
The nazis also had a framing of laws they worked with, if (something like) this can happen in modern times, all WE need is רחמי שמים
Says we are like Nazis in kind, but not in degree is a pretty weak defense.
