I thought this was a great comparison.

A Washington State Reader Explains To Stillmore, GA, Mayor That Immigration Enforcement Is Not Nazism; etc.
From: Robin Corkery
About the recent, perfectly legal and appropriate illegal alien poultry worker arrests in Stillmore, Georgia, Mayor Marilyn Slater said:
"This reminds me of what I read about Nazi Germany, the Gestapo coming in and yanking people up.” [Immigration Raid Cripples Georgia Town, by Russ Bynum, Associated Press, September 15, 2006]
If Mayor Marilyn Slater thinks this is what "Nazi Germany" was like, she needs to do more reading.
I lived in Germany from 1947 to 1952 when my father headed the American refugee resettlement in postwar Europe.
Here, for Slater’s edification, are the differences between Nazis and enforcing immigration law circa the 21st Century:
- Jews were rounded up before dawn and put in cattle cars without food, water or toilets. Illegal aliens will get due process.
[/*:m:3rap8cur] - Jews were starved, beaten, tortured and exposed to the elements after being separated from their spouses and children. Illegal aliens will either be housed in detention centers where they will be fed and clothed, or, much more likely, released on their own recognizance and swiftly disappear into the millions- strong enclaves of their fellow invaders.
[/*:m:3rap8cur] - Jews were German citizens. Illegal aliens are not American citizens and they have driven down the wages of those Americans who have the least competitive job skills.
[/*:m:3rap8cur] - Jews were innocent but were murdered. Illegal aliens are criminals. [/*:m:3rap8cur]
Were you sleeping when your teachers taught history, Mayor Slater?
