As I understand the conditions of both Canada and the United States, at the time of the 1930’s and WWII, we refused admittance to Jewish refugees.

So yes, in a way, that includes us too.

Unfortunately.

The USA turned back rescue ships that made it across the Atlantic- wouldn’t let them land.

And the USA is doing it again, even now. America is soliciting Muslim refugees while denying refugee status to Christians from Muslim countries.

Yes I know Roosevelt refused entry of thousands of European Jews. However in the 1930’s there was no Auschwitz as yet and your premise is a false one. America wasn’t shoving Jews into gas chambers. We shut them down.

Not exactly. Jews who sought entry without visas definitely had a problem. So few people were trying to get into the United States all the immigration control resources could be brought to bear on maintaining the border thereby forcing the visa issue. You'll want to read about the S.S.StLouis.

Tony Frank, former Postmaster General, came with his parents from Germany. They were Jewish. Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright could tell you about how she learned her family were Jewish. They emigrated.

There was a national quota system in place.

So, no, the US didn't kill Jews. The Nazis killed Jews.

Screw that guilt trip. The US never killed Jews - the Europeans did. I guarantee that if the death camps had been in full swing at the time the ships were coming, not a one would have been turned away. We had no idea that Europe had gone so stark raving mad. Americans went to a foreign continent and gave their lives in large numbers to stop the madmen that were killing Jews. Trying to wallow in some guilt over their deaths is ridiculous, and comes from the prevalent push of cultural Marxism that demands that one seek every possible way to blame his country for something, anything, in order to feel more "enlightened".
