Tried and tested in Australia first, thanks to Rupert with 'turn back the boats'.
The Liberals claimed humanitarian motivation by preventing deaths at sea. This was not a complete lie, but cruelty was nevertheless the point. (I have not read the article in the Atlantic). There were complementary options for easing the problem recommended by a government enquiry, not implemented.
From Guatemala? Coup there. 1953? Honduras? (thanks Hilary and Barack). Nicaragua? (Thanks Ronnie) El Salvador? (Who did that?) My geography is gets rusty further down, history is bunk. Some feeling of culpability rejected for not fitting the desired set-image. This is like Snow White. Nothing can make the mirror tell us that we are sufficiently fair, and we cannot hide this evil from ourselves. Those whom we have attacked must shoulder the blame as well. The curious attractiveness of those from sh*t hole countries, like Joseph, Mary and Jesus.
