More flags please!
Since the GOP took control of the Senate we've all been waiting for the Republican plan on immigration. Well now it's here. OMG this is a doozy. This is not an Onion piece but rather a satire published in The New Yorker by Andy Borowitz. However, if McConnell, Boehner and their co-conspirators actually told the truth this article would not be satire.
Appearing with House Speaker John Boehner, McConnell said that, in contrast to President Obama’s “Band-Aid fixes,” the Republican plan would address “the root cause of immigration, which is that the United States is, for the most part, habitable.
“For years, immigrants have looked to America as a place where their standard of living was bound to improve,” McConnell said. “We’re going to change that.”
Boehner said that the Republicans’ plan would reduce or eliminate “immigration magnets,” such as the social safety net, public education, clean air, and drinkable water.
Satire or no, I say in Republican controlled states, "Mission Accomplished".
