Groups blast lawmaker for Holocaust remark

Two Jewish groups urged a U.S. congressman to repudiate his statement comparing illegal immigration to a Holocaust.
Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) has been outspoken in opposing any plan that would allow some undocumented immigrants to legalize their status.

Speaking at a May 27 rally, King asserted that illegal immigrants are responsible for the deaths of 25 Americans a day through drug trafficking, drunk driving and sex crimes.

This was a “slow-motion Holocaust,” he said.

The National Jewish Democratic Council and the Anti-Defamation League, which had already called on King to back away from his accusations about illegal immigrants, urged him to repudiate the Holocaust remark.

“Your reference to a ‘slow-motion Holocaust’ demonstrates a profound lack of understanding about the nature and the magnitude of the crimes against humanity undertaken by Hitler and his regime,” the ADL’s national director, Abraham Foxman, wrote King in a letter Tuesday.
