| Bush Approves 700-Mile "Concept Fence" at Border |
| 2006-10-26 |
| From ScrappleFace President George Bush today signed into law a bill that authorizes a 700-mile long “concept fence” on the U.S.-Mexico border. The concept fence, a project approved but not funded by Congress, is similar to a concept car, administration officials said. According to an unnamed bill sponsor, “The concept fence is an insurmoutable barrier that will shut off the steady, daily flow of illegal aliens invading our country to take our jobs, boost our crime rate, burden our social welfare system and potentially bear contagious diseases or weapons of mass destruction. The concept fence is impossibly high, supercharged with 1.21 jigowatts of electricity, and each mile is guarded by a battalion of National Guard troops and a squadron of A-10 Warthog fighter jets.” If the concept proves popular, officials said, Congress may eventually fund the actual “production fence” which will be a three-foot high hedge of juniper bushes. Human rights advocates responded to the new law by charging that the 700-mile fence would force undocumented workers to squeeze through the remaining 1,400 mile border gap, possibly causing lacerations and brush burns. |
