Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), deputy chairman of the Democratic National Committee, is comparing giving sanctuary to undocumented immigrants in the U.S. to giving shelter to Jews fleeing the Holocaust in Nazi Germany.
"And if you ask yourself 'What would I do if I was a gentile in 1941, if my Jewish neighbors were under attack by the Nazis? Would I give them sanctuary?'" Ellison said Monday in comments on President Trump's move to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
"I'm one of the people who believes we should give our neighbors sanctuary," he told supporters in Minneapolis, as reported by the NTK Network.
Trump said earlier this month he was ending the Obama-era program, which spares from deportation those who were brought to the U.S. as children. The president, however, has called for a legislative solution and indicated a willingness to work with Democrats on the proposed Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act.
Ellison, who has pushed against Trump's decision to end DACA, made his comments the same day House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) confronted a crowd of angry protesters at a DREAM Act press conference in California. The activists, furious with Pelosi for dealing with Trump on the issue, eventually shouted her off the stage.
"So this is not someone else’s fight; this is all our fight but some people are in the bull’s eye and others of us are not exactly the target. Therefore, it is our responsibility to stand up and fight and do the right thing," Ellison said.
Keith, you mean like the Nazi sympathizers that America let into the country to take up residence at liberal socialist colleges after WWII???? hhhhhmmmmm?
That being said the powers that be, must go after the Hitlers in the countries that are causing the immigrat exodus. Not the US.
Mexico is not Auschwitz.
Keef X: “Enrique Peña Nieto is Hitler.”
He's a muzzie, of course he doesn't think Nazi Germany was a bad thing anyway.
Oh, suddenly this raving Anti-Semite is concerned about Jews in the Holocaust? http://www.tabletmag.com/jewish-news-and-politics/218385/keith-ellison-bds-farrakhan-dnc
So, according to this un-American creep, I am being likened to a Nazi because I want illegals that have broken federal immigration law tossed out? He needs to STFU.
Invoking the Holocaust to manipulate emotion. Who knew.
In other words, Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), deputy chairman of the Democratic National Committee, is comparing Mexico to Nazi Germany.
Eggs is eggsactly eggs.
“And if you ask yourself ‘What would I do if I was a gentile in 1941, if my Jewish neighbors were under attack by the Nazis? Would I give them sanctuary?’”
Only if they promised to vote Democratic, early and often. Same deal for Mexican who came to work off the books as a roofer or drug dealer. Vote Democratic, early and often: Gooooood! Apply for asylum and then citizenship legally: Baaaaaaad! So they are similar.
