A word about kevyn comments.. he is right of course.. Follow the link for this info..

Plenty more stories about Jews being turned away, for various reasons..


http://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2017/01/30/1939-refugees-st-louis-manifest

On those attempting to escape Germany on MS St. Louis

"These were German Jews of means, primarily, who, after Kristallnacht, after the night of the broken glass in Germany, saw the writing on the wall and tried to get out before there was a systematic policy to murder millions of Jews. And they applied for visas to the United States, they applied for documents to enter Cuba, and they boarded the ship to basically get out and to save their lives and the lives of their families. And along the way, unbeknownst to them, the Cuban government pulled their paperwork and these folks by and large were stranded. And they went from, first from Cuba, from the port of Havana, and they sailed toward Miami, at which point they were interdicted by a Coast Guard cutter. And despite attempts from both passengers on the ship, from representatives in America to try to help them gain with telegrams to both FDR and telegrams to the state department, these folks were forced back to Europe and approximately half of the Jewish refugees on the ship who were shipped back to Europe eventually ended up perishing during the Holocaust

My mistake I thought your family fled Nazis, many Jews did and were turned away and sent to their deaths. It is as shameful then as it is now. Your people were lucky, the people in power here hated communists more than Jews. Just never forget they still hated Jews.

What does this have to do with "Illegal Aliens" and Proud Republican's Topic?

You are exactly the type of person they had in mind when the Statue of Liberty was erected.

WOW. So you ARE the troll of this forum...now I get it.


In 1939, there was a ship carrying about 900 Jewish refugees who were denied entrance. This is long before anyone had any idea there was such a thing as concentration camps. What our resident troll forgot to mention was that they were first denied entrance to Cuba, and Canada wouldn't take them either.

Not so much worse as more annoying.

There are many illegals crossing our borders that come from the Mid-East and Africa, so an ocean is not a complete deterrent. You are exactly right. If you want to immigrate to the U.S. you should do so legally. Otherwise you are an illegal alien, not an immigrant.

Sorry: Y'all are all wrong. Our country would not let all the Jews in,
they were sent back, and the gas chambers awaited. It's
history -- don't have the specifics, but it's all true. I also
cannot remember who was president at the time. Maybe
you "brains" can research it.

He also failed to mention that only a quarter of them were killed in the Holocaust. That's about 230 people, not all 900.
