Round, round get around — that damn fence

17 November 2007

Unimpressed by claims that a border fence will do anything to curtail illegal immigration, the McAllen Chamber of Commerce has informally compiled a list of ways to defeat rhe barrier. Among our favorites:

  • Employ the Jedi mind trick. “These are not the illegals you are looking for.
  • Walk around with a cell phone saying, ”Can you hear me now?“
  • Put on a hard hat, grab a clipboard and say you’re inspecting the wall.
  • Wear a George Bush mask. No one will be surprised if you can’t speak English.
  • Pretend you’re a Canadian–eh?
  • Ask who ordered the pepperoni pizza.
  • Build a Trojan Burro and mail it to Washington, DC.
  • Walk backwards and say you’re leaving.
  • Boat across the Gulf of Mexico to another state where there are no walls. Yet.
  • Walk around it.

    I say we put armed guards on the fence. Anyone who crosses could be a terrorist. Shoot to kill. Thats what most countries do.
