Round, round get around — that damn fence
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.
