Reminds me of this callous gem from Oliver Wendell Holmes in the Buck v Bell opinion:

We have seen more than once that the public welfare may call upon the best citizens for their lives. It would be strange if it could not call upon those who already sap the strength of the State for these lesser sacrifices, often not felt to be such by those concerned, to prevent our being swamped with incompetence. It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime, or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes.

Holmes concluded his argument by declaring that "Three generations of imbeciles are enough"

Carrie Buck was very far removed from the Trump family. The Buck v Bell case was part of the eugenics movement which included immigration restrictions based on the argument that letting "those" people in would be a drain on public resources.

My father survived Auschwitz. He came here penniless, unable to speak English and with no family.
He would have been turned away
They are monsters.
