We truly have a shameful past regarding immigration.

Rachel is discussing eugenics laws, most notably the one passed in 1924. Jeff Session openly said he favored that and that it was good for america at that time.

Now, of course the same kind of thinking (eugenics) is what the nazis used to justify their massacre of jews, gypsies, gays, etc..

We were pretty fucked up back in 1924 and apparently its coming back with a vengeance pushed by Trump and his ilk.

with severe personality disorders. However, I'd be quite satisfied to get them out of office and keep them out.

You can tell a morally bankrupt religion or political movement by how they think some folks should be killed and then we'd have Utopia.

if the Nazis borrowed from the American racists or vice versa.


Racial superiority is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
