Shalom. But for the purposes of debate, that's completely irrelevant. It's also an odd sort of argumentum ad hominem, in which you would (apparently) forbid me drawing certain historical parallels because of the ethnic/religious background of the one I'm debating. I don't accept that. Deal with it.

The historical facts remain: German Jews fled Nazi Germany, because the totalitarian dicator running the place wanted to kill them. Chinese are fleeing Communist China because the totalitarian dictator running the place wants to mutilate them and kill their children. (S)FDR really did turn away a literal boatload of Jews fleeing Nazi Germany. I've no interest in being to Red China as (S)FDR was to Nazi Germany. (S)FDR had possibly the excuse of not knowing what the Nazis were up to. We certainly do not have that excuse regarding Red China.
