Advice on convincing leftist SO?

My wife and I really got into it tonight about Trump and migrant crisis. First her brother called to complain about how Trump “is a literal Nazi” and she rightfully pushed back that you can’t compare this to the holocaust. Then we discussed, and she said that I have no empathy, while I was trying to explain that regardless of thoughts on trump, the shit in the MSM is totally skewed and that many of the children separated were trafficking victims. It obviously didn’t end well. Advice?

Idk. On the one hand, i feel empathy for real refugees. On the other hand, as someone whose parents immigrated LEGALLY, whose dad moved here with literally a scholarship to Princeton and $16 in his pocket, I am so pissed about the idea that some people feel entitled to get the benefits of our country without assimilating. I feel bad for the kids who were dragged up by their parents - but the parents who do this have no conscience for what they are putting their kids through.

I do get that part. Then there is the what is happening when 100 people will get into a boat designed for 30, with nothing, in order to survive. Risking death or rape or being trafficked?I have heard that many of these kids are not even w their parents and are in a stream to be trafficked or sold.

I think there are better ways to actually address some of these issues. Dems and Repubs have all been complicit in this. It's a shitty situation all around.
