It does good things, and places
the United States on solid moral ground. However, the moral argument is
not the only reason to support this bill. We must also remember that
America's security, and that of our allies, is impacted when civilians
are slaughtered. Our security is impacted when desperate refugees
stream across borders. Our security is affected when perpetrators of
extraordinary violence wreak havoc on regional stability, destroying
communities, families, and livelihoods. We have seen groups like ISIS
systematically targeting communities because of their ethnicity or
religious beliefs and practices, and yet, we still lack a comprehensive
framework to prevent and respond to genocide and other atrocity crimes.
