So your folks immigrated from Poland before the Nazis threatened them. Awesome. "Your people" did a shitty job of educating you. Obviously you aren't descended from the well educated Jewish types.
"Sailing so close to Florida that they could see the lights of Miami, some passengers on the
St. Louis cabled President Franklin D. Roosevelt asking for refuge. Roosevelt never responded. The State Department and the White House had decided not to take extraordinary measures to permit the refugees to enter the United States. A State Department telegram sent to a passenger stated that the passengers must "await their turns on the waiting list and qualify for and obtain immigration visas before they may be admissible into the United States." US diplomats in Havana intervened once more with the Cuban government to admit the passengers on a "humanitarian" basis, but without success."
"Three months before the
St. Louis sailed, Congressional leaders in both US houses allowed to die in committee a bill sponsored by Senator Robert Wagner (D-N.Y.) and Representative Edith Rogers (R-Mass.). This bill would have admitted 20,000 Jewish children from Germany above the existing quota."

"Writing in April in
USA Today about the murder of 12 Christian migrants
thrown into the sea by Muslims for praying to Jesus instead of Allah, columnist Kirsten Powers
stated that President Barack Obama “just can’t seem to find any passion for the
mass persecution of
Middle Eastern Christians or the
eradication of Christianity from
its birthplace.”
"The president’s response appears to be United States policy. Evidence suggests that within the administration not only is there no passion for persecuted Christians under threat of genocide from the Islamic State, there is no room for them, period. In fact, despite ISIS’ targeting of Iraqi Christians specifically because they are Christians, and, as such, stand in the way of a pure, Islamic Caliphate in the Middle East (and beyond), the U.S. State Department has made it clear that “there is no way that Christians will be supported because of their religious affiliation.”

"Despite the ongoing threat of execution in Iraq, nearly all Yazidis, a Kurdish-Christian community that lives throughout Iraq, Syria, Turkey and even Armenia and Georgia,.... The reason why is not clear, but
advocates say Washington is turning a blind eye on the situation."
