But, that’s just it.......the actions don’t have to result in killing......it’s performing them in whole or in part that is defined as genocide......
 Quoting: CuriousSeeker


Incorrect. Wording matters with such a term as genocide.

The international legal definition of the crime of genocide is found in Articles II and III of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide.

Article II describes two elements of the crime of genocide:

1) the mental element, meaning the "intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such", and

2) the physical element which includes five acts described in sections a, b, c, d and e. A crime must include both elements to be called "genocide."

[link to www.preventgenocide.org]

And again, what is being done is the detention of illegal immigrants who have unlawfully crossed our border. Detaining them is a law.

If you consider this genocide, then it is genocide for us to detain/jail ANY American citizen accused of a crime. See the logic?

If you break the law in the USA, you get detained/jailed, if caught.
 Quoting: Simple27


Either that source is wrong, or my source is wrong: because, that's not what the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum says, which is what I've used for my research:

====================

[link to encyclopedia.ushmm.org (secure)]

[G]enocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

Killing members of the group;
Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
 Quoting: CuriousSeeker


They say the same thing my friend. From the above source...

The specific “intent to destroy” particular groups is unique to genocide. A closely related category of international law, crimes against humanity, is defined as widespread or systematic attacks against civilians.
[link to www.ushmm.org (secure)]

We aren't bringing them into our country illegally and then doing any of the above. We are detaining them for illegally entering our country.

Should we put them up in the Marriott?

I won't allow Trump's continued attempted division to divide us here. I still love all of my earthquake peeps anyway.

hugs

Anyway. I think the policy is cruel. Have you had a chance to see Rachel Maddow's analysis of the situation?

Including photos?

I highly recommend watching it. I'm not hard left, but I don't like what the administration is doing. It's considered genocide - the vast majority of it. Not to mention which, children have died while in custody. I don't think that's fair. Illegal or not.

 Quoting: CuriousSeeker


I've never let political views divide us on this thread, and would never.

It is my duty though to inform when necessary...

Barack’s ICE chief: Cages were Obama’s idea
Former President Barack Obama’s top immigration chief in charge of removing illegal immigrants said that the “cages” Democrats have accused President Trump of housing children in were the brainchild of the Obama administration.

“I’ve been to that facility, where they talk about cages. That facility was built under President Obama under (Homeland Security) Secretary Jeh Johnson. I was there because I was there when it was built,” said Thomas Homan, who was Obama’s executive associate director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement for nearly four years.

Homan, who ran Obama’s successful deportation operation, ripped Democrats who question Trump immigration officials on the Obama-era idea.

He cited one Democratic chairman who asked a Trump official, “You still keeping kids in cages?”

Homan, at the conference hosted by the Center for Immigration Studies, said, “I would answer the question, ‘The kids are being house in the same facility built under the Obama administration.’ If you want to call them cages, call them cages.

But if the left wants to call them cages and the Democrats want to call them cages then they have to accept the fact that they were built and funded in FY 2015.”

[link to www.washingtonexaminer.com (secure)]


Trump isn't matching Obama deportation numbers
Under the Obama administration, total ICE deportations were above 385,000 each year in fiscal years 2009-2011, and hit a high of 409,849 in fiscal 2012. The numbers dropped to below 250,000 in fiscal years 2015 and 2016.

*Under Trump, ICE deportations fell to 226,119 in fiscal 2017, then ticked up to over 250,000 in fiscal 2018 and hit a Trump administration high of 282,242 this fiscal year (as of June).

*ICE and DHS didn't respond to a request for comment.

Calling the detaining of individuals who have illegally crossed into your country "genocide" is truly reckless and far fetched.


Also, these laws have long been in place. [link to www.detentionwatchnetwork.org (secure)]
 Quoting: Simple27


I still think the policy is cruel. Whether Obama or Trump. Or Clinton.

Thank you for the correction on that. I was wrong.

Anyway. Once again, I still think the policy is cruel.

It is most definitely wrong to attack the Trump administration as the originators of the policy. However, at any time if they want to, Trump can put an executive order on the table to reverse it and create better conditions if he wanted.

Anyway.

I am not calling the detaining of individuals illegally crossing into the country genocide.

If that was all that happened, big whoop, and I would call the media a bunch of assholes for perpetuating that myth.

But, we're talking about the five elements all happening at once, here. Not just the detaining of illegal immigrants. Now, people are dying in these quarters.

There is an intent there. I've provided sources for all five incidents actually happening. It's just not being admitted to. You don't put people in conditions where 72 people to one toilet is the norm, and get to claim plausible deniability about it.

That's not how this works.

But, of course not, we should not put them up in the Marriott. That's not what I am talking about doing.

They broke the law and should be in jail. But, they should not have to suffer worse than prisoners and die because of it, right?

So the thing is this...by law we are to detain illegal immigrants unlawfully entering our country. And we wouldn't want to reverse that. Doing so would be an open invitation to all non-citizens of the world (more so than it is already).

Better conditions would have to be paid for. The illegals being detained (housed, fed, given water, given medical attention, etc.) aren't paying for it. The hardworking American citizens are. I'm sure the majority of us don't want our taxes raised any further to provide better conditions for those being detained for illegally entering our country.

We aren't killing any of those that we detain. Many arrive in terrible shape after their journey to cross our border illegally. They even get medical attention, food and water (as previously mentioned) once detained here. The children that die while in custody are at the fault of their parent(s) who put them through that journey knowing the risks. Many risks before even reaching the US.

We aren't causing serious bodily or mental harm to them. Again, we are giving them housing, food, water and medical attention once detained.

And so on.

We aren't killing any of those that we detain. Many arrive in terrible shape after their journey to cross our border illegally. They even get medical attention, food and water (as previously mentioned) once detained here. The children that die while in custody are at the fault of their parent(s) who put them through that journey knowing the risks. Many risks before even reaching the US.

We aren't causing serious bodily or mental harm to them. Again, we are giving them housing, food, water and medical attention once detained.

And so on.
 Quoting: Simple27


Under the catch and release clause, if they have a child, they can only be detained for 24 hours. Then, as has been the case, never to be seen again! Because of this law, 50% of single men are bringing a child with them, up from 1% in 2014. Change the law demonrats, and quit forcing this tragedy!
