"How much did you pay to have your daughter raped?" will have the opposite effect.

Many are going north BECAUSE daughters and neighbors' wives were raped. It is just insulting to ask such a stupid question. That one won't deter anybody at all. It will remind them of why they are going north and strengthen their resolve to migrate.

Cons are blind to the realities "the other" face and thus are stupid about it. Abbott is stupid about multiple things.
