Everyone knows there are lines, and you just coincidentally made a Nazi analogy. Discussions about immigration (and the rhetoric of progressives in the US in general) is constantly plagued by inflammatory and inappropriate Nazi references. Maybe it was an honest mistake, but it's still a mistake.

Dow Chemical / Agent Orange. But like all things, it's complicated. We didn't know quite the fallout. Human life was simply valued less back in the day - this was a time when many cars still didn't even have seat belts.
