Illegals in Canada
The flood of American liberals sneaking across the border into Canada has
intensified in the past month, sparking calls for increased patrols to stop
the illegal emigration.
The re-election of President Bush is prompting the exodus among Left-leaning
citizens who fear they'll soon be required to hunt, pray and agree with Bill
O'Reilly. Canadian border farmers say it's not uncommon to see dozens of
sociology professors, animal rights activists and Unitarians crossing their
fields at night. "I went out to milk the cows the other day, and there was a
Hollywood producer huddled in the barn," said Manitoba farmer Red
Greenfield, whose acreage borders North Dakota. The producer was cold,
exhausted and hungry. "He asked me if I could spare a latte and some
free-range chicken. When I said I didn't have any, he left. Didn't even get
a chance to show him my screenplay, eh?" In an effort to stop the illegal
aliens, Greenfield erected higher fences, but the liberals scaled them. So
he tried installing speakers that blare Rush Limbaugh across the fields.
"Not real effective," he said. ''The liberals still got through, and Rush
annoyed the cows so much they wouldn't give milk."
Officials are particularly concerned about smugglers, called coyotes, who
meet liberals near the Canadian border, pack them into Volvo station wagons,
drive them across the border and leave them to fend for themselves. "A lot
of these people are not prepared for rugged conditions," an Ontario border
patrolman said. ''I found one carload without a drop of drinking water. They
did have a nice little Napa Valley cabernet, though."
When liberals are caught, they're sent back across the border, often wailing
loudly that they fear retribution from conservatives. Rumors have been
circulating about the Bush administration establishing re-education camps in
which liberals will be forced to drink domestic beer and watch NASCAR. In
the days since the election, liberals have turned to sometimes ingenious
ways of crossing the border. Some have taken to posing as senior citizens on
bus trips to buy cheap Canadian prescription drugs.
After catching a half-dozen young vegans disguised in powdered wigs,
Canadian immigration authorities began stopping buses and quizzing the
supposed senior-citizen passengers." If they can't identify the accordion
player on The Lawrence Welk Show, we get suspicious about their age," an
official said. Canadian citizens have complained that the illegal immigrants
are creating an organic-broccoli shortage and renting all the good Susan
Sarandon movies. "I feel sorry for American liberals, but the Canadian
economy just can't support them," an Ottawa resident said. ''How many
art-history majors does one country need?"
In an effort to ease tensions between the United States and Canada, Vice
President [censored] Cheney met with the Canadian ambassador and pledged that the
administration would take steps to reassure liberals, a source close to
Cheney said. "We're going to have some Peter, Paul & Mary concerts. And we
might put some endangered species on postage stamps."
"The president is determined to reach out."
