FDR discriminated against Jews from Germany, was against blacks serving in Combat, Jailed Japanese, Germans and Italians once WW2 started and if any other president did that, you would be really angry.After the Kristallnacht attacks in Germany in November 1938, President Roosevelt expressed his shock “that such things could occur in a 20th century civilization.” He summoned the US ambassador in Berlin, Hugh Wilson, home for consultation. The United States did not have an ambassador in Germany again until after World War II. FDR also allowed between 12,000-15,000 Germans traveling in the United States on temporary visitor visas to remain in the country rather than forcing them to return to Europe. He used executive authority to grant a six month extension to the visas, and repeatedly extended the visas until the end of the war.
During President Roosevelt's first term, tens of thousands of German Jews applied at American consulates to immigrate to the United States. Yet the Great Depression and restrictive American immigration laws severely reduced immigration opportunities for refugees.

The more than 900 passengers of the M.S. St. Louis were denied entry by immigration authorities in multiple countries in the lead‑up to the Holocaust.

So your claim that the Nazis were allowed to live in the USA thanks to FDR. And you see that as correct?
