(Jewish Group) Trump's politics of hate

[Behind the Aegis]

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

Breckinridge Long would have fit well in the Trump administration. He knew how to keep undesirables out of the country. He insisted our resources were over-burdened, there was not enough room for more refugees, many of whom were likely to be spies and subversives and thus a threat to our national security.

His mission was to erect obstacles to delay, discourage and prevent refugees from entering the United States. Humanitarian concerns were not his concern. Sound like anyone we know?

For assistant secretary of state Long, the most undesirable of all were the Jews of Europe. For President Donald Trump they’re Latinos from south of the border, many fleeing Central American violence. Both seem undeterred by the thought of children being separated from their parents, even permanently, and sent no-one-knows-where.

Family separation should alarm everyone, particularly Jews, even the well-to-do Republican ones who attended last week’s meeting of the Republican Jewish Coalition in Las Vegas. Instead, they cheered and chanted “four more years” for the man who purged the Department of Homeland Security for not being aggressive enough in taking refugee children, putting them in wire cages and losing track of them.
