Uh huh.

So you think the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans don’t matter ostensibly because their deaths happened later.

Of the 407,000 American men that died in combat in WWII in the European Theatre, where were these men in 1939 when the MS St. Louis tried to unload its cargo of aliens?

Where do you suppose they were in 1939? What do you think they were doing in 1939?

No, I'm asking what possible connection could allowing in a handful of Jews in 1939 or 1940 have to these 407,000 combat deaths that came later.

It sounds like you really, really do not understand the argument and just wanted to bash scholars.

Once again, FDR screwed up big time by not allowing minor changes in immigration/asylum policies before the US entered the war that would have saved countless lives but which had no effect whatsoever on those 407,000 lives. Are you saying that somehow the Jews caused these deaths?
