I’m sorry I’ll try to be clearer.
If i would tell a meshulach, “I’m sorry I cant help you since there are lots of meshulachim out there”. You would (I assume) correctly say what does that have to do with anything. He needs help, help him who cares if you cant help other people.
Thus the fact that there are “millions and millions of latinos, chinese, koreans, africans, and indians etc that desperately want to come to the US” is completley irrelevant to the subject at hand. Sure we can start a new thread to discuss those people, but this thread isnt about them.
As for the St. Louis. It is entirely relevant for two reasons:
1) because that is PRECISELY my point. That we the descendants of those who were denied entry should be extra careful, extremly compassionate, and be sure to exhaust all possibilities before denying that freedom to others. THIS IS ONE OF MY MAIN POINTS (not yelling, just for emphasis) as I have outlined here http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/banning-syrian-refugees-from-the-us/page/2#post-589144
2) As a direct response to Newbee’s question (even if it was relevant) I am asking if had that excuse been used against us eg “We’d love to take you out of Hitler’s Germany but what about all the millions and millions of latinos, chinese, koreans, africans, and indians etc that desperately want to come to the US” would he accept it. and say good point, I guess the U.S. was right to sent back the St. Louis
