Jews lost their citizenship if they lived in Germany from 1930-1945. Therefore they were illegal. They were also seen as alien compared to the aryan race. Therefore they were illegal aliens.

Okay, I see. So you thought 1930s Germany is a part of modern-day America and "illegal aliens" is a phrase they use on the regular. I'm not going to say it was a nice try or anything, but better luck next time.

To try and re-explain the point that you missed, we don't need to hearken back to ye olde hitlertimes when there are already tons of white people in the U.S. illegally right now. But when people use the phrase "illegal aliens," those aren't the people they're referring to.

It's inevitable.

Godwin's Law is about people making those comparisons in the context of the discussion, not just showing up and shouting "Jews!" in a complete non sequitor.

But do you know who else showed up and shouted "Jews!" in a complete non sequitor?

The Russians who were in the pogroms!

Entebbe International Airport staff in 1976, while having a discussion about air traffic control radar?

The only white illegal aliens I know of are the occasional group of British guys who move here for IT work, get fired (for refusing to commit fraud), and are stuck here with no visas or papers of any kind.

I was a legal alien until July 3, when I lost my greencard and got a Proof Of Citizenship.
