Flag on the play.

Comparing the calling of someone who has violated our immigration law an illegal is not comparable to anything the Nazis did. Even attempting to make that analogy is an insult to all the victims of the Third Reich. That would be an example of some of the stuff we need to leave out of these threads in order for them to avoid turning into giant pissing contests (pardon my French).

Exactly. But my point in bringing up the "illegals" status of Jews in Nazi Germany was that everything that Hitler ever did was all perfectly legal according to the then German constitution, and that the law is not a religion, and that people who are being dehumanized are in danger of being unjustly persecuted. Indeed, everyone is called to disobey laws which conflict with their consciences. The excuse of "only following lawful orders" is not a valid one.

Too often we see posts advocating or extolling the commission of felonies upon people who are committing misdemeanors, as if they therefore deserve any abuse or outrage committed against them, since they are "despicable people" and "all violent criminals" and "terrorists against our public treasury" and "illegals." It was against those cruel and unjust ideas that I brought up the sad chapter from the previous century, not to equate but to warn.
