I never really thought that the US would turn away Jewish immigrants Go read the history of the 30s. The US State Department was upper crust and deeply anti-Semtic, as was most of the WASP establishment that still was very powerful and influential and from whom FDR sprung. FDR and Eleanor broke the pattern by not being anti-Semitic themselves, but this was just one of a myriad of ways in which they were "traitors to their class." Very few Jews got into the country in the 30s, and State also exerted itself trying to prevent news of the Holocaust from getting out as it happened, and trying to prevent any American action to rescue Jews or slow down their killing. There is a history book by Arthur Morse called While Six Million Died that lays out the history in detail.
