It's odd that those who support the illegals are curiously silent about 
the asylum that was denied to the passengers aboard the USS Saint Louis - 
of course they were German Jews that were fleeing Hitler's government.  
They weren't even allowed to land, nor was the ship allowed to resupply; 
the ship eventually moved down to a Caribbean island so it could offload 
its passengers
