Da Silva told The Guardian that the decision was "absolutely brutal, threatening human rights, violating human dignity, xenophobic and worthy of the worst horrors committed by the Nazis."

Un-friggin' believable.

Oh, puh-leeze. Identifying visitors to check whether they are on a terrorist watch list is not comparable to Nazi atrocities. Targeting visitors from the United States for fingerprinting as part of an infantile tantrum is less defensible, but still not comparable to Nazi atrocities. Even extending border security into a range of Big Brother snooping (which will happen as surely as the sun will rise tomorrow morning) is (all together now) not comparable to Nazi atrocities (though one might reasonbly compare that last item to some of the early stages of the Nazi regime).

And they pay this guy to hand down judgements? With actual money?
