So you do not see any similarities.  Nazi history and Hitler rise in power is very interesting reading.  Have you actually ever read any history books on the subject.

I have and people are finding connections between Nazis and Trump where there are none. To even suggest that what is going on right now with the illegal immigration issue is anything like the Holocaust or concentration-camps is incredibly disgusting

Illegal immigration is not really where the comparisons are made.  The first comparisons was made when Trump selected a group of people as the woes for everyone problems.  One very good tactic is to first find a group people believe are lower than themselves and sell them that their problems stems from that group.  So first we make people south of the border something bigger than the number suggest.  Using language that paint them as murders, criminals, rapist etc.

I personally am not saying comparisons to Trump and Hitler is valid but I can see where parallels can be made.

Also, its not the illegal immigration that is compared to the holocaust concentration camp, its how Trump decided to handle illegal immigration.  By mandating that everyone child be taking from their parents, not having proper facilities to handle the change in policy and no proper way forward for these people to reunite their families is why it is looking bad for Trump.  The other part, I continue to wonder what was the end game.  So making it a felony for illegal immigration, you lock the parents up for how long, afterward what do you do with them, release them back over the border.  Will they keep the children or return them.  If their plight was desperate in the first place, why would they not just come back again.  Either way, it seems he went back to Catch and Release from the Obama administration since its a delicate issue or maybe just better planning is in order.
