Jonathan Tobin - Why Even Elie Wiesel Can Be Wrong About the Term "Illegal Immigrant" "[Elie] Wiesel is a person who stands above politics, and his moral authority to discuss just about any issue is not likely to be challenged. But whatever one might think about immigration or the plight of those who come here illegally, the attempt to eliminate the term, much less compare illegal immigrants to the persecution of Jews during the Holocaust, is absurd. Illegal immigrants are called illegal not because Americans view them with malice but because they are in this country illegally," says Jonathan S. Tobin at the Commentary Magazine site. "While anyone who grew up admiring Wiesel as a moral voice must approach any criticism of him with reluctance, if Hinojosa's recollection is correct, he has, unfortunately, done something that he has often criticized: made an inappropriate use of a Holocaust analogy."
