HAARETZ — Leaders of American Jewish groups are uniting across ideological lines over one thing: condemnation of U.S. President Donald Trump’s most recent anti-immigration push. Even the leaders of Reform movement and ultra-Orthodox groups are articulating similar sentiments.

“The proposal is of great concern to us. Ours is a global community, and anyone who has friends, relatives or professional colleagues overseas who are not U.S. citizens will feel the impact of this planned measure,” said Rabbi Avi Shafran, a spokesman for Agudath Israel of America, told Haaretz.

“It would not even allow American citizens to sponsor their aged or infirm parents to immigrate to the United States.

2 Comments on US Jewish Leaders United in Condemnation of Trump’s Anti-immigration Push

  1. Jewish leaders condemn anti-immigration push, whether by Trump or anyone else. Of course!! How can we subvert the white goyim if we can’t flood their countries with non-whites?

  2. A tweet from Schumer:

    [President Biden should declare a national emergency on the climate crisis.

    Donald Trump declared a fake emergency for his ineffective, wasteful wall. That was no emergency.

    The climate crisis is an emergency.]

    So ‘the climate crisis is an emergency’ (even a ‘national emergency’), but the demographic destruction of America, partly due to illegal immigration (and now bogus asylum seekers) via the southern border, is no big deal.

    Perhaps the thing I most resent about Trump (other than his grotesque pandering to Jews) is his failure to pressure Mexico into signing a ‘safe third country’ agreement (as exists with Canada) — with such an agreement, asylum seekers could no longer travel thru Mexico to apply for asylum in the US — they would have to apply in Mexico.
