¡Reconquista!

... I mean, oops.

COLUMBUS, NM - A 1.5-mile barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border was designed to keep cars from illegally crossing into the United States. There's just one problem: It was accidentally built on Mexican soil. Now embarrassed border officials say the mistake could cost the federal government more than $3 million to fix [...]

A U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman said the vertical metal tubes were sunk into the ground and filled with cement along what officials firmly believed was the border. But a routine aerial survey in March revealed that the barrier protrudes into Mexico by 1 to 6 feet.


Well, if they can make us uncomfortable in a Wal-Mart because of their scary brown-ness, we can sure as shootin' steal their land. We'd better watch out for the "Minuto-hombres" on the other side of the border, though; any time we Americans step onto their Mexican land, they'll leap into action to deport us. We'd better stay on our side!

(By the way, read that article about small-town whites openly expressing their racist fears to justify an anti-immigrant stance. It wouldn't be out of place in the 1950s South talking about black people. The silent majority of Americans will reject this open hate at the polls, and the Republican Party will be doomed to be a white, Christian, regional Southern party for a generation. Watch for the open talk of secession in about a decade.)
