1. Help legal immigrants. DON'T help illegals!
Chaim ,   Israel   (10.30.18)
Neither HIAS nor any other Jewish agency should help illegals defy U.S. immigration laws. Helping illegals is REALLY bad policy in EVERY way. It is bad for both America and Jews. Help legal immigrants. DON'T help illegals!
2. No Longer a Worthy Organization
Ed ,   USA   (10.30.18)
HIAS was once a terrific organization. It helped members of my family resettle in North America. However, a few years ago, it turned its back on potential Jewish refugees from the Ukraine and elsewhere and focused on resettling Syrian refugees in the US. Proclaiming its "Jewish Values," this organization is (like a number of other organizations in the US) sadly deluded. A Nazi's rant against HIAS will make many want to support it, but there are more worthy organizations.
3. Without naming names
Bertram ,   London, UK.   (10.30.18)
There is always someone who undermines the solidarity in the wake of this dreadful act with mean spiritedness. However, no surprise from that quarter.
4. HIAS not "Hebrew". False pretenses = massacre!!!
Ari Din ,   NY   (10.30.18)
HIAS does not help Jews & got no Jewish Values. It's head steals over $500,000/yr & cause anger of American People. This lead to Pittsburgh massacre.
Need to wipe leftist-liberal crooks from Jewish life, close fake outfits. Remove "Jewish" & "Hebrew" from their names.
Immigrant Aid Society. Subcontractor to US Gov't.
5. A FAKE JEWISH ORGANIZATION
oleg ,   Florida   (10.30.18)
THE LEADERS AND MANAGEMENT OF HIAS HELP THEMSELVES WITH HUGE SALARIES AND LIMO-CARS. THE LAST TIME THEY HELPED JEWISH REFUGEES WAS 30-40 YEARS AGO. THEY HELP SYRIANS, IRAQIS AND SO CALLED ECONOMICAL REFUGEES FROM CENTRAL AMERICA.IT IS NO LONGER A JEWISH ORGANIZATION.
6. It's the same everywhere
Tova   (10.31.18)
These organizations are all over Canada/US/Australia etc. They began small for assisting Jews who are new to a country. All its programs are funded by Jewish organizations.

In Toronto we have JIAS which assist thousands of immigrants who are not Jewish. This is the cost of Multi-culture.

The only exception was Jews were never afford assistance - they did all on their own. Perhaps that is why many non-jewish organizations prefer Jewish assistance.

Canada is no different than the US. Canada has a long history of anti-semitism and racism. For many years Jews were not permitted to be educated in Canada. Canadian Hospitals refused to help Jewish patience etc.

And that is what makes the US better than Canada. For in the US no matter who is against you. You can still become successful.

Jews will always help other no matter who they are.
7. Those pretty girls holding "refugees welcome" sign.
Brad ,   USA   (11.01.18)
Are they gonna let those "refugees" move into their houses, or even their neighborhood? If so, they'd better get fitted for a chastity belt, or else arm themselves. What a bunch of useful idiots, and vulnerable as well.
