In an appearance on the Political Party Live podcast over the weekend, Cory Booker suggested that President Trump’s restrictive border policies were akin to those of the United States when they rejected German-Jewish refugees in the 1930’s.

In his statement, Booker attested:  "As much as he wants to make us afraid of people trying to come here escaping terror, not remembering like when we turned around other immigrants trying to escape terror.” 

Booker continued, “[t]here was a ship that came here during World War II with a bunch of folks trying to escape the Holocaust and we turned it around where they got killed in the Holocaust."
