re: #150 Spare O’Lake

Very few if any Jews sneaked in illegally during and after WWII, my pedantic friend. Can you explain precisely how you wiki link speaks to my observation?

Your observation was:

during and after WWII I think the refugees came to the US legally, as refugees or displaced persons. Also, I am not aware that illegal immigration was a problem back then.

You couldn’t be more wrong. I don’t know what else to say. Jewish refugees were turned away, often sent back to Germany (or Spain, or their other countries of origin).

And the immigration act was a criminalization of a lot of immigrants. It was certainly seen as a big problem. I don’t know how you can’t understand that.

When you say ‘correct me when I’m wrong’, and then are corrected, you really shouldn’t complain about it.
