“Yidden can be notoriously selective in applying moral outrage”
That’s a middah tova that real frum yidden have. You, on the other hand, consistently seem to be more concerned with the well being of goyim than that of your own people.

Yes. I do have concerns for the well-being of goyim but no more so than our own. A large number of yidden who disparately tried to immigrate to the U.S. both prior to and after WWII were able to get in through a wide range of ploys which involved forging documents, lying to the immigration teams and small numbers making their way across the border from Canada. Tens of thousands of individuals seeking to escape the predictable terror in Europe were unable to get in and were lost in the Shoah. While the U.S. cannot provide a haven to those fleeing violence and oppression from the entire world, yidden should be on the forefront of working towards some realistic framework for providing asylum to those arrriving at our borders fleeing violence at home. And BTW, the torah DOES speak to us directly on multiple occcasions about showing respect and compassion for ALL of hashem’s creations.
