2 million more to 112 million is a 1.7% increase.
Could they, yes.
Do they want to, no.
It seems like all countries, except majority white ones, have functional borders and immigration policies.
An incredibly stupid man. And a Jew. Unreal.
Has been for at least 15 years.
Bernie should be paradropped into Gaza City where he belongs
Under Bernie’s leadership, Hamas will be back in the stone-age in no time. Israel can save on the munitions.
Bernie is a Marxist and political religion dominates God-related religion.
😃
Fossilized pile of garbage and filth runs his millionaire mouth.
The Kapo Caucus.
Kapo
What leftist like Bernie the Capo never seem to understand is that Hamas always operates out of Civilian areas in order to use the civilians as human shields. Hamas is responsible for what happens to these civilians.
Thank for posting and keep posting it as there will be many like Bernie Sanders who misrepresent the laws.
Some say he's a self hating Jew, but I'm guessing he likes himself very much. He just hates other Jews. Not unlike George Soros.

Common Article 3 of the Fourth Geneva Convention
terrorism, terrorists, pirates, piracy, boarders, brigands, hostages, kidnapping, unlawful martial assault, combatants, in concert international warfare
LOL! Good one!
Of course ... but that’s “different” ... like it’s “different” when a Democrat (or member of a protected demographic) breaks the law, pushes misinformation, doesn’t pay taxes, etc.
Targeting civilians, even during a time of war, violates Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions of 1949.
And why don’t you (Sanders) apply it to the official government of Gaza?
So, no found provision which asserts what Sanders said. Thanks.
And millions of American people wanted that POS for President.
1.2 Civilians
Civilian persons, as with civilian objects, are not the subject of a descriptive defnition within the law, but are defined by negation: anything which does not meet the definition of military is civilian.
Perhaps some may also find one of the citations made by the Nuremburg court to be of interest.
International Law, Chiefly as Interpreted and Applied by the United States, Vol II, Charles Cheney HYDE, pg. 328
§ 656. Sieges and Bombardments.A belligerent commander may lawfully lay siege to a place controlled by the enemy and endeavor by a process of isolation to cause its surrender.l The propriety of attempting to reduce it by starvation is not questioned.2 Hence the cutting off of every source of sustenance from without is deemed legitimate.3 It is said that if the commander of a besieged place expels the noncombatants, in order to lessen the number of those who consume his stock of provisions, it is lawful, though an extreme measure, to drive them back, so as to hasten the surrender.4
__________1 "Assault is the rush of an armed force upon enemy forces in the battlefield, or upon intrenchments, fortifications, habitations, villages, or towns, such rushing force committing every violence against opposing persons and destroying all impediments. Siege is the surrounding and investing of an enemy locality by an armed force, cutting off those inside from all communication for the purpose of starving them into surrender or for the purpose of attacking the invested locality and taking it by assault. Bombardment is the throwing by artillery of shot and shell upon persons and things. Siege can be accompanied by bombardment and assault, but this is not necessary, since a siege can be carried out by mere investment and starvation caused thereby. Assault, siege, and bombardment are severally and jointly perfectly legitimate means of warfare." Oppenheim, 2 ed., II, § 155.
See, also, J. M. Spaight, War Rights on Land, Chap. V; Laws of Land Warfare, prepared by Joseph R. Baker, and Henry G. Crocker, Dept. of State, 1919, 198-213.
2 "War is not carried on by arms alone. It is lawful to starve the hostile belligerent, armed or unarmed, so that it leads to the speedier subjugation of the enemy." § XVII General Orders, No. 100, of 1863, quoted in No. 173, note I, Rules of Land Warfare. [woodpusher - General Orders Number 100 is the Lieber Code, the Laws of War as published by the Union government during the American Civil War.]
3 According to No. 224 of Rules of Land Warfare "The commander of the investing force has the absolute right to forbid all communications between the besieged place and the outside. The application of this rule to diplomatic envoys of neutral powers is unsettled."
No. 219 of the Rules of Land Warfare provides that "Diplomatic agents of a neutral power should not be prevented from leaving a besieged place before hostilities commence. This privilege cannot be claimed while hostilities are in progress. The same privileges should properly be accorded to a consular officer of a neutral power. Should they voluntarily decide to remain, they must undergo the same treatment as the other inhabitants."
