What is the acceptable level of bank robbers? kidnappers? murders? or any class of criminal? you are wanting to lead the American public down the same path Hitler lead Germany against the Jews. You are trying to state that, qualitatively as well as quantitatively, an illegal is the same as a murderer. This is the exact same tactic that was employed by Germany against the Jews. Please take the time to read the following...and while doing so substitute the words "illegal alien" for "Jews" or any other reference to Semitics. Keep an open mind-if you do so, you will see the shocking similarities between the Nazi policy towards Jews, and the ultra-Right Wing policies towards illegals-and please note how closely the text in bold is related to recent discussion of illegals in the United States. Remember, this is about how we are treating them collectively, as well as treating Hispanics in general, regardless of their immigration status:The Nazi Party used anti-semitic views to gain votes . Using the "stab-in-the-back legend", they blamed poverty, the Hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic, unemployment , and the loss of World War I by the "November Criminals" all on the Jews , Marxists and 'cultural Bolsheviks'. German woes were attributed to the effects of the were attributed to the effects of the Treaty of Versailles. In 1933, persecution of the Jews became active Nazi policy . This was at first hindered by the lack of agreement on who qualified as a Jew as opposed to an Aryan, which caused legislators to balk at an anti-Semitic law for its ill-defined terms . Bernhard Lösener described it "total chaos", with local authorities regarding anything from full Jewish background to 1/8 Jewish blood defining a Jew; Achim Gercke urged 1/16 Jewish blood. Mischlinge were especially problematic in their eyes.] The first anti-Semitic law was promulgated with no clear definition of Jew . Finally, the decision was made for three or four Jewish grandparents; two or one rendered a person a Mischlinge. It only became worse with the years, culminating in the Holocaust, or so-called "Final Solution", which was made official at the January 1942 Wannsee Conference.On April 1, 1933, the Nazi boycott of Jewish businesses was observed throughout Germany. Only six days later, the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service was passed, banning Jews from government jobs. It is notable that the proponents of this law, and the several thousand more that were to follow, most frequently explained them as necessary to prevent the infiltration of damaging, "alien-type" (Artfremd) hereditary traits into the German national or racial community (Volksgemeinschaft). These laws meant that Jews were now indirectly and directly dissuaded or banned from privileged and superior positions reserved for "Aryan Germans". From then on, Jews were forced to work at more menial positions, becoming second-class citizens or to the point they were "illegally residing" in Nazi Germany.
