Missed this until a moment ago: Confirmed: Elliott Abrams's Defense of Mass Murder Was Based on Lies

10. Made worse by denying asylum claims of clergy in order to not contradict the lie

I taught a family of very bright kids with El Salvadoran heritage -- 3 kids all very bright, excelled in Chemistry and Physics with me. . I could not understand why they were not planning on going to college until the eldest was picked up on a traffic stop and arrested and was going to be deported.

The father and the uncle were both Catholic clergy in El Salvador when the kids were very little and fled becuase the death squads told them they would kill them. They came to the US and applied for asylum through the proper channels. The asylum claims were denied because the government said that there were no plausible threats to clergy.

Neddless to say, posed with staying illegally in the US or returning to get murdered the two families stayed in the US. The youngest may have even been born in the US, I was not quite sure since I taught them all in the late 90s and early 2000s.

Had they obeyed the US law and courts, the fathers for certain and likely the whole families would have been murdered by these death squads.

The collateral damage of the Raygun & Bush years is immeasurable.
