Patrick Leahy Cites Holocaust Victims in Plea to Embrace Unaccompanied Minors - July 16, 2014 - “I also remind people of a time in the past around World War II where this country unwisely closed its borders to people who were fleeing the Holocaust in Germany,” Leahy said. “They came here, they were turned back, sent back, many of them to certain death in the death camps. That was a sorry part of our history.”

Leahy criticized Republicans for using the crisis to “promote fear” and an “enforcement only agenda.”

He explained that the rush of minors crossing the border were immigrants seeking out American law enforcement officials for protection, not trying to avoid the law.

“If they see somebody in uniform, they run to them,” Leahy insisted. “They think finally they are escaping the gangs and the murderers and the rapists and they suddenly feel safe because they see an American in uniform.”

I think the Dems are deluding themselves. The immigration issue is big and getting bigger, and the voters are, for the most part, going to blame them. The Dems are going to get shellacked in November.

Were any of these illegals headed for the ovens?

Gezzzzzzzz.... How about all the illegals being transported up to his state? They can stay there for processing and then be furnished living quarters up there. That would shut him up and likely get him removed from office.

“We can either make good on our laws ... or we can say ‘gee whiz, we didn’t mean it.’ >>>>>>>>>>>>

The law requires the that they be kept out of the country and then likely deported after a hearing, but for a few exceptions with the burden of proof on the illegal alien.

Obama traduced THE LAW which Leaky Leahy so vociferously espouses.In fact Leahy is lauding Obamas unconstitutional executive order, not the law. Leahy’s very support of Obama’s unconstitutional executive order, which allows unconstitutional alien access to America and its due process citizen rights, results in the very system of fascism, here liberal fascism, which caused the Holocaust.

This is the usual leftist tactic of calling the political opposition , Democrats, Republicans and conservatives who support the constitution, the very thing that the left indeed are, fascists.

Leahy and his ilk are treasonous offal,the very definition of politicians who have long ago outlived their representative ability , thereby traducing the people and the Constitution repeatedly. Leaky Leahy should swing for his treasonous commentary, and his former treasonous leaking from the Senate Intelligence Committee which put US servicemen in mortal danger. Leahy is a treasonous pus ball.

“Think of all those Jews that went to the ovens because we forgot our principles,” Leahy said. “Let’s not turn our backs now.”

What is this ignorant bigot and demagogue talking about? The US, along with other nations, did turn away the SS St. Louis in 1939, a ship which carried 900 Jews seeking a refuge.

So does Leahy think that makes the US responsible for the death of six million Jews? He's a fool if he's saying that, but just as likely he's being a demagogue and liar as comes so naturally to most prominent Dims.

These Dims are shameless with their lies and misrepresentations.

And who was President when the Jews were turned away? Who interred the Japanese? And they call Republicans racists.
