How do you say "Reductio ad Hitlerum" en Espanol?

If this doesn't beat all: Hispanic groups are calling the handful of US raids on workplaces capturing illegal immigrants engaged in ID theft and other document fraud reminiscent of Nazi Germany:

"This unfortunately reminds me of when Hitler began rounding up the Jews for no reason and locking them up," Democratic Party activist Carla Vela said. "Now they're coming for the Latinos, who will they come for next?"


Ah yes, the reductio ad Hitlerum fallacy. This kind of hysteria makes me wish we'd have more workplace raids. Now. Chop-chop.
