The Department of Homeland Security sounded a bit like Cookie Monster or The Incredible Hulk

C’mon Matt, that was an easy one.

Sounds like a hokey, Russian accent out of the movies.

Obviously in the manner of a Trump tweet. Leave out articles, but needlessly repeat words and phrases in a crude attempt at emphasis. Emphasize bigliness. Toxify immigrants. Lessons from tweets learned and learned well.

That tree in the “after” picture sure seems like it grew really, really fast considering you can’t even see it over the short, ineffective wall in the first picture.

It’s almost as if these pictures were taken in two different places.

No OFF Switch

I loooooooove that picture!

Why? The DHS constructed exactly such a “wall” (I can’t remember what section of the border it was on) and it was quickly rendered pointless by those “stupid, lazy Mexicans.”

How? They took strips of old car tires and wedged them between the bars, creating a ladder accessible on both sides of the fence; up- and down-stairs, if you will.

BTW I have no proof but I suspect the Border Patrol brought out a crew and a cherry picker to remove the “steps” instead of simply ascending the “stairs” and removing them beginning at the top. Because … No ON switch.

My 24 year old son that’s been living and working in Mexico for the past 2 years recently joined the peace corp. He said this article reminded him of a lot of the reasons why he wanted to join.
