The very Jews who are writing so passionately in their local publications about the irrelevance of the immigration crisis to our community, releasing statements about ‘sober’ responses to the immigration crisis, posing for photo-ops with those who have promulgated these inhumane policies — it is often these very people who rely on cheap, undocumented immigrant labor in their day-to-day lives. [Our call for a sober response is precisely because we are not ignoring (one administration’s handling of) the crisis, but that’s The Forward for you.]

The Coalition for Jewish Values, a rabbinic public-policy organization, welcomed the decision, saying that the travel ban upheld by the Supreme Court “focuses upon countries that harbor both terrorism and hatred for America, and which lack procedures necessary to identify and exclude possible threats.

As US immigration crisis heats up, US Jewish group praises proposal by Senator Ted Cruz, says end to Obama-era policy was necessary.

In their statement released May 30, CJV accused Peri of “unbridled hostility towards religious activity” and questioned whether she could “demonstrate appropriate tolerance and accommodation of religious needs.”

Rabbi Menken, in response to Perri’s statement, compiled a list of 10 “clearly verifiable statements about what transpired, all of which appear to contradict her account.”

The Coalition for Jewish Values, which represents more than 1,000 Orthodox rabbis, has offered an interesting suggestion. Left-wing advocacy groups typically respond to incidents of cultural insensitivity by demanding that the culprits undergo sensitivity training. Why should this episode be any different?
