Sadly all the dem nominees appear to be following the popular but flawed icon Ted Kennedy through the immigration minefield. All are for anchor babies and chain migration. Just like lemmings following some ancient ancestor over the cliffs.In his senior moment he must have forgotten about the gas chambers, the medical experiments, the confiscation of all personal property. Just children and adults being giving a roof over their heads and three square for one of the few times in their lives. People were not struggling to get into NAZI Germany.
Da fuck are you yapping about?
Luee probably thinks Truman tweeted that. It’s now part of his primitive belief matrix.
Happy B-Day, Larry
God help us all
I was referring to the former Nuremberg juror who referred to detention camps as crimes against humanity.
Crimes against humanity don't require gas chambers, Luee. They don't require medical experiments or confiscation of personal property.
"

On the other hand, it sure looks like you haven't been reading the news very well. Refusal to provide safe and sanitary conditions sounds like a crime against US law and international law to which we are signatories and which we have ratified. It sounds like crimes that get brought up in the International Court of Law.
Separating children from their families
for no good reason, just bogus deterrence hopes, is a violation of both. Refusal to make the minimum effort to reach and reconnect them with their parents or other family members - how is it that you think
that is not a crime against humanity?
Sexual and physical abuse by the guards. That's not a crime against humanity in your book eithe, huh?
crime a·gainst hu·man·i·ty
noun
plural noun: crimes against humanity
a deliberate act, typically as part of a systematic campaign, that causes human suffering or death on a large scale.
Certainly a systematic campaign. Certainly causing human suffering and, yes, sometimes death. Thousands - how large a scale does it need to be for you, Luee?
https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/crimes-against-humanity.shtmlRome Statute of the International Criminal Court
Article 7
Crimes Against Humanity
1. For the purpose of this Statute, ‘crime against humanity’ means any of the following acts when committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against any civilian population, with knowledge of the attack:
a. Murder;
b. Extermination;
c. Enslavement;
d. Deportation or forcible transfer of population;
e. Imprisonment or other severe deprivation of physical liberty in violation of fundamental rules of international law;
f. Torture;
g. Rape, sexual slavery, enforced prostitution, forced pregnancy, enforced sterilization, or any other form of sexual violence of comparable gravity;
h. Persecution against any identifiable group or collectivity on political, racial, national, ethnic, cultural, religious, gender as defined in paragraph 3, or other grounds that are universally recognized as impermissible under international law, in connection with any act referred to in this paragraph or any crime within the jurisdiction of the Court;
i. Enforced disappearance of persons;
j. The crime of apartheid;
k. Other inhumane acts of a similar character intentionally causing great suffering, or serious injury to body or to mental or physical health.
2. For the purpose of paragraph 1:
‘Attack directed against any civilian population’ means a course of conduct involving the multiple commission of acts referred to in paragraph 1 against any civilian population, pursuant to or in furtherance of a State or organizational policy to commit such attack;
The page goes on to explain that these can occur during peace, not just armed conflict.
In contrast with genocide, crimes against humanity do not need to target a specific group. Instead, the victim of the attack can be any civilian population, regardless of its affiliation or identity. Another important distinction is that in the case of crimes against humanity, it is not necessary to prove that there is an overall specific intent. It suffices for there to be a simple intent to commit any of the acts listed, with the exception of the act of persecution, which requires additional discriminatory intent. The perpetrator must also act with knowledge of the attack against the civilian population and that his/her action is part of that attack.
Sounds like crimes against humanity to me, Luee. Not to you?
