DON’T TAKE A FENCE: The announcement from Mexico’s Foreign & American Office follows hot on the heels of the news that the USA has had a collective brain fart and re-elected Donald Trump. Already there is chaos on the border.
The Mexican minister, Juan Dirección, is assembling all Mexico’s police, vigilantes, and angry men with sticks at the border to keep out people fleeing the States in fear for their lives. Luckily for them, the people in question are American.
There are absolute scenes along the full length of the border. Hundreds of people are trying to swarm across the border in inflatable dinghies. LCD’s American correspondent, Hank O’Hare, went to find out why.
“We keep up with the English news, bud,” claimed one fleeing American. “We watch your GB News all the time, it’s almost as good as Fox!”
So why are you crossing a land border in a boat?
“‘Cause we heard that it’s the only way!” said the would-be refugee. “That great man, Nigel Forage, said that the only way to stop refugees is to stop the boats. So I figured that you gotta have a boat. He’s a great man, Nigel Forage!”
He rowed off, the exertions of his crew eventually moving the boat forward a couple of millimetres.
Meanwhile the Mexicans stood by laughing. Occasionally one took a pot-shot at a dinghy to deflate the boat and the optimism of its occupants.
O’Hare tried another man. Who are you, and why are you fleeing, he asked.
“Hi! Ah’m Chuck Ittaway!” said the interviewee proudly. “Ah’m escaping the reds under the bed!”
Who did you vote for?
“Ah voted for Donald Trump, of course! Terrible man, but what cud Ah do? Ah jist cuddn’t bring meself to vote for a wimmin!”
The Americans stopped trying to row, and set up a massive BBQ party instead. The police, vigilantes, and angry men with sticks busied themselves with building the wall to stave off boredom.
