Charlie Hall,
As a follow up to “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…” , I heard from an Adam Gadol ( who was quoting another Adam Gadol) that the 1929 Stock market crash was a punishment from Shomayim for the way America started to turn it’s back on refugees and immigrants.
Just ponder that, when the right claims that all the liberal toavos are the exclusive reasons for Hashem’s anger but then they couldn’t care less about refugees or immigrants.
The dor hamabul’s fate was sealed because of gezel. Also called white collar crime. Insider trading , , borrowing and not repaying etc …..
