(Martin Niemöller Quote) I'm posting this here for the protectionists
When the Nazis arrested the Communists,
I said nothing; after all, I was not a Communist.
When they locked up the Social Democrats,
I said nothing; after all, I was not a Social Democrat.
When they arrested the trade unionists,
I said nothing; after all, I was not a trade unionist.
When they arrested the Jews, I said nothing; after all, I was not a Jew.
When they arrested me, there was no longer anyone who could protest.

I wonder if those that support "the wall" can figure out how this applys to our latino brothers and sisters?

When they came for the poor I said nothing
When they came for the gays I said nothing
When they came for the illegals I said, "GO GET EM!!!!!"

I wonder if they are noticing a pattern?
