I doubt they want them dead. If I had to guess, I'd say they just want them gone.

How many people would look the other way if we were talking putting homeless into death camps and mass murdering them, that I have no idea about.

That's part of the problem. The get out of my sight, go somewhere else mentality, can lead down a very dark and even more evil path.

One of the more absurd details of the holocaust was that it started as a plan to move all the Jews to Madagascar. (I like to imagine a bunch of Nazis in a room in the early 30's with a world map and they just sort of agreed that it looked like a big enough island). They just wanted the Jews gone too, but economic realities caught up with them I suppose.
