Governor Patrick - His Obfuscation of Facts

What's up with our Governor? In his effort to convince us that we should be taking in hundreds of these illegal immigrant teenagers, he compared this situation to that of of an incident back in 1939 when the US refused to take Jewish children on a boat coming from Germany.

As someone pointed out, "these passengers never tried to force their way into this country illegally. They did not seek to come here for free health care, free housing, welfare subsidies, or better jobs. Theirs was a voyage of survival, not economic upgrading."

We know that the governments of Central America are corrupt and unethical but unlike Nazi Germany, they do not have an agenda of torturing and exterminating their citizens. 

Politicians like our Governor should be ashamed of their self-serving obfuscation of fact and their violation of the sacred memory of the Holocaust victims" annihilation.
