I'm not so sure it's all that appropriate of a comparison given the drastically different circumstances under which the Jews and others were fleeing, as opposed to the current US/Mexico situation. Things may be bad in Mexico right now, but the events of and leading up to the Holocaust were on a totally different level. Yeah on a superficial basis it works, people fleeing a bad situation where innocents are being killed, but the greater details of both show that's where the similarities really end. And to me that kind of cheapens the attempted comparison.
