If you don’t want to be called a nazi; don’t act like one

 

They hauled more people off the streets here, dragging them off bus stops and out of stores, laying them on the ground, hands cuffed behind them before the meat wagon came to drag them off to jail.

There has to be a better, more humane way to deal with illegal immigrants, even if this is being done to undo the damage Biden causes when he threw open the borders to allow tens of millions of people to flow into the United States, later scattering them around the country so they could not be easily traced.

So, as a result ICE grabs everybody, recent arrivals as well as those who’ve been here for years, sending them back to countries that really do not want them back – a ruthlessness that gives potency to the protestors who have come to compare ICE agents at Nazis.

If ICE doesn’t want to be labelled as Nazis, they shouldn’t act like Nazis.

My friend in a neighboring town saw some of this, the bread-winners for whole families carted off to private prisons, leaving wives and children back at home to wonder what happened to them, later discovering they are being held in private jails with little or no legal recourse.

There is more than enough blame to go around. Obama did the same thing, even going as far as to put kids in cages – and people consider him a kinder and gentler president as compared to the one we currently have. Clinton and Congress passed legislation in the 1990s that allowed the White House to deport people without due process. So, if we are indeed a new Nazi Germany, it has been decades in the making, as history will likely show.

Hitler did the same thing to the Jews and others, and when he could not transport Jews to Palestine (which was then a Jewish state), he resorted to his Final Solution, partly because it was impossible to deal with the mass number of people involved.

Some activists fear Trump will resort to similar tactics when it becomes evident it may be impossible to deal with some many illegal immigrants that Biden allowed to cross the border. You really can’t put the genie back in the bottle.

While I don’t think we will see the mass slaughter we saw in Germany during the early 1940s, many people back then didn’t believe Germany would either, and the tactics of ICE so much resemble those employed by Nazis in the early year of the Holocaust that the comparison is inevitable, maybe even justified. If you don’t want to be called a Nazi, don’t act like one.
