Those already within our borders may have been but in the run-up to the holocaust, our government did NOTHING to help them.
Once upon a time, I am told by elderly mother that Catholics were despise and Jews although not hated as much as Catholics weren't exactly loved by most either. They were though tolerated better here than in Europe.Similar to some countries in europe? I think Jews were always much better accepted in the US.
Well, the Americans never attacked the Jews often and murdered them, that's true. However, antisemitism was pretty bad in America's big cities in the 1920, 30s and 1940s. Many hotels and universities banned them. My Father and Grandfather told me stories when I was a kid. My Grandmother told me when she went looking for an apartment in Chicago, many landlords would not rent to her when they found out she was Jewish. My Dad left the company he worked for in the 1930s because they did not promote Jews. He found a partner and they went into business for themselves.Similar to some countries in europe? I think Jews were always much better accepted in the US.
I have two words; the ST. LOUIS !!Those already within our borders may have been but in the run-up to the holocaust, our government did NOTHING to help them.

Of course this ignores the fact that Jews and Catholics were major bigots themselves; it's only 'bad' when WASPs do the same as 'everybody else', i.e. take care of their own first and prefer their own company. The reality is American WASPs are far more tolerant of others than the other way around, and prejudice is not the same as racism or antisemitism. The Jewish people are bigots? The “ Christian “ Community has been persecuting the Jewish Community for thousands of years
And Jews murdered lots of Christians themeselves, as well as joining up with their Muslim allies to raid and murder more, including invading Europe. The last two Jewish kings of what is now Yemen left steles bragging about their killings of 15,000 and 25,000 Christians respectively in their invasions of Arabian lands. Jews were administrators an garrison troops in Spain; local Jews also threw open the gates of some Spanish cities to Muslim troops while the Christians were in church in Sundays, causing the cities to fall. Sorry but the big 2,000 year Pity Party and historical myths fall apart under real history; Jews were far from poor hapless innocent victims.
A highly antisemitic US State Department, afraid of an increase in Jewish immigration refused to accept Jewish refugees from Hitler's Europe.
Does this answer the OP's question?
