I really don't think that there's any hidden meaning - it's quite literal, in my opinion: get them out, kick them out, etc.

Note from asker:
| I guess I was assuming something more abstract was meant by this, but you feel sure it's just the literal definition, i.e. - getting them out of the region? (I don't meant to doubt you, your answers are always reliable, I just want to be sure) |
