“and justifying FDR’s actions in sending Jews to their deaths by closing borders”
FDR didn’t close the borders. A Republican Congress and President had done so in 1924. ” Any alien who at any time after entering the United States is found to have been at the time of entry not entitled under this Act to enter the United States, or to have remained therein for
a longer time than permitted under this Act or regulations made thereunder, shall be taken into
custody and deported…”
As I pointed out earlier, though, from all countries in the Western Hemisphere the borders were open.
