Reply to comment by VulcanTrekkie45 in Who is is that keeps dumping hundreds of people in unsuspecting Massachusetts towns? by VulcanTrekkie45

You made an ignorant statement. To even compare what is happening now to what happened to them is ridiculous. And shows a lack of understanding as to what it’s like at our boarder for these asylum seekers.

Yeah, Jewish scholars haven’t been making that comparison for years or anything…

Besides this is how it started. Or are you gonna seriously argue that there are no similarities between this and relocating Jews into ghettos?

Moving migrants into housing, offering the kids places in our schools, giving them access to our healthcare to a level they have never had the opportunity to receive. Finding food sources for them. This is not the same.

Unless you are suggesting this is the end goal of the Biden administration. In which case, you should start demanding answers from our elected leaders.

I mean their policy so far has been almost no departure from Trump’s immigration policy, so…

A big difference being trump eventually made asylum seekers stay in Mexico. Biden allows them to stay here (which I’ll note I agree with).

The difference in that policy made the crossings explode, however. We have as many asylum seekers now, in a 5 week span, that we would see annually before.

You can’t safely accommodate the vast increase in numbers in one area (the boarder).

Your energy should be spent directed at our state officials to prepare and welcome migrants here. All states should do it, because that’s what’s going to eventually happen anyway.

That needs to be something done on a federal level though.
