It is unambiguous what dangers they faced. The Nazis slaughtered 2/3 of European Jewry. They were not going to stop until they killed every single Jew (and other undesirable) they could find. We were rounded up, put into ghettos, half-starved and laid low by disease...those of us who survived were herded onto trains and worked to death or immediately gassed...or we were simply led to a trench and shot where we stood or kicked into the trench to die of exposure or to be crushed or suffocated by other victims falling on top of us.
That is genocide. That is ethnic cleansing. Never in human history has genocide been so organized and so documented and hopefully, we will never see the likes of this again.
Comparing the plight of illegal immigrant children to what European "undesirables" faced in Hitler's sights is thoroughly disgusting.
THERE.
IS.
NO.
COMPARISON.

You are absolutely right. If this were someone who wasnt a liberal who said this, they would be called out for it by the media. He will get away with saying it, just as the other Dems will get away from using the rhetoric they use.
And another point. They use these sick lies and then want people to "compromise" with them. Are you serious? You're going to sit there and compare this to Hitler and the Jews or say that we want to send kids to their deaths and then say we should compromise with you?!?! Unbelievable.
