Ethnic cleansing is anything but an "out-of the box" thinking, no matter how one packages it. It is illegal, immoral and irresponsible.

Los EEUU no pueden tratar como delincuentes a los migrantes Colombianos. Desautorizo la entrada de aviones norteamericanos con migrantes colombianos a nuestro territorio. EEUU debe establecer un protocolo de tratamiento digno a los migrantes antes que los recibamos nosotros.

Or … you could sanction Israel. Expel the ambassador and stop supplying Israel with parts and components to for its F-35 lightening jets. But let’s go with more lip service and direct Aussies to get on a plane lest an IDF bomb be dropped on them.

Australia is gravely concerned about escalation in the Middle East. Further hostilities put civilians at risk. The security situation in Lebanon could rapidly deteriorate. Australians in Lebanon should leave immediately while commercial flights are available.
