Joe Biden was on the receiving end of withering criticism even before Air Force One landed in El Paso for the first border visit of his presidency.
Biden compared asylum-seeking migrants to European Jews seeking refugee in the Holocaust.
Six million Jews died in the Nazi death camps, most between 1942-45. That number equates to roughly two-thirds of all Jews living in Axis-dominated Europe during World War II.
The number and percentage killed have few equivalents compared to other genocides.
Fox News has more on reaction to Biden's comments, which came in response to a reporter asking the president if migration was a human right:
“Well, I think it is a human right if your family is being persecuted,” Biden responded. “I thought it was a human right for, you know, Jews in Germany to be able to go — to get to escape and get help where they could.”
The president's critics on the right called his remarks everything from “disgusting and awful” to “shameful and out of touch.”
The controversial comparison comes as Biden is set to visit the southern border Sunday, the first such trip of his presidency despite southern border encounters being at an all-time high. Ahead of the trip, Biden announced an expansion to a pandemic-era program that gives border agents the ability to turn away migrants who illegally cross the border.
“My message is this,” Biden said. “If you're trying to leave Cuba, Nicaragua or Haiti, you have a — and we — or have agreed to begin a journey to America, do not — do not just show up at the border. Stay where you are and apply legally from there.”

More proof Biden has no business being our president. He appears to be dumb as a rock on all issues. Shame on every person who voted for this incompetent fool.
More and more these kinds of misinformation and subtle playing down of the memories of the Holocaust has been done by the democrats. Twisting facts and disregarding the heinous acts done to the Jewish people during Holocaust.
Never forget!
He should visit Dachau site alone
It only took Biden to visit the safe, clean up, secured area of El Paso for the first time in his entire political career under pressure. Did he really even see the illegals anywhere in that visit? Heck no!
I dont remember the Nazis importing/enticing 5 million Jewish immigrants into the Third Reich order to obtain complete voter hegemony over the Nazis’ political enemies.
We have a President that has very little if any knowledge of history. As far as that goes he hasn’t any common knowledge at all. Maybe that is why he let all the statues be taken down of pass history.
He doesn’t even know what Catholicism is and he claims to be one. He does everything against the doctrine of the religion he says he belongs to so we think he should know about Holocaust?
So what would he knows about the invasion of our borders when he said there are more better things he has better things to do than the streaming hundreds of unvetted uninvited illegal aliens walking into our country. Wait, that was wrong, Biden invited them, they’re just unvetted.
Liberals in general and Biden and Democrats in particular are living proof that we seriously need to bring back insane asylums.
Wither that, or ship ’em all off to other countries for re-education.
All “Americans” that are left after Joe Biden gets through will be able to call themselves “holocaust” victims because that is what his regime is doing to America. The most obvious case are the Jan6 prisoners that are being persecuted beyond what could be called “American” justice. This is political persecution plain and simple and Biden is breaking his oath of office to pursue that course. Time to take out the trash. FJB
This F’ing Steve is everywhere. This must be an ad that these guys run otherwise what kind of “moderation” could they be doing? They’ll probably disallow, “this”. Time to hit the unsubscribe button. If you want to run an ad for this scam, then just put it next to the article like it’s important enough to read, don’t make us read the first sentence, get aggravated, and unsubscribe. Morons.
From FJD statement every illegal must go back from where they came from and go through the legal process of immigrating to the USA. Send illegals back starting today.
Brandon is a shining example that you can’t fix stupid.
stupid is that stupid does
But didn’t he say he graduated top ten in his law class? Wait, that was a misinformation?
He should be impeached for his actions in Afghanistan and non-actions on the border.
Of course, he has the best insurance policy available; Harris would take over.
Someone should inform biden that we turned away a ship of jews trying to escape death…sad, but true…jewish people were not allowed to go to safety in many western countries at that time!
History was so clear, that ship had no where to go, USA didn’t want them, they were bound back to Germany to their sure death then the Philippines stepped up.
How dare that these uninvited, unvetted, whose excuse IS only wanting to earn American dollars, illegal aliens, breaking our laws are being compared to the Holocaust victims.
Never Forget!!!
How dare the democrats cheapen the memories of the Holocaust! And for the American Jewish population who keep voting for Democrats, you pretty much deserve how the democrats keep taking you for granted. This is so deeply saddening and angering!
Never Forget!
My Jewish German family left before world war 11 started. The ones who didn
t died at the hands of the death camps. There are still people who still have their markings. They branded them just like cattle. What is a slap in the face is to have this old pervert Biden say the death camps didnt exist. They are still in place to remind the world that they did exist. I will be happy when I see Bidens feet kicking the air while he is gasping for his last breath of air. Joe Bidens family are guilty of treason and international theft.“Biden Draws Fire for Comparing Migrants to Holocaust Victims”
What an idiot.
Biden doesn’t change. He was, is and remains a flat disgrace to the U.S.
