Here is my point: Unless that military approach does succeed. we will have paid for the buildup of a large client group. grown by then to probably 35.000 or 50.000. who will be dependent on us and who will try to leave their country at that point. very much like a similar client group did in Vietnam at the end of that terrible conflict. But Vietnam was very far away. Even so. thousands arrived at our shores. A similarly builtup client group in Nicaragua would disperse throughout the region and arrive at our borders in thousands. I ask my colleagues to draw back from this fateful Michel approach today which would in effect be the Refugee Creation Act of 1985.
