<< In the late 1930's a ship of Jewish refugees chartered a ship and sailed to the US. Roosevelt ordered the US Coast Guard to keep the vessel away. >>

It was 1939 and the ship was the S.S. St. Louis. Back then, noone wanted Jewish refugees to come to the U.S. Before that it was Irish refugees who weren't wanted. Right now, the U.S. racist attention is turning against Cuban refugees.
