"COUNTRIES CLOSE BORDERS TO AMERICANS"

"COUNTRIES CLOSE BORDERS TO AMERICANS"

Seventeen nations around the world have announced they have closed their borders to American citizens, citing the fear that it would put the safety of their own people at risk.

"We can't take the chance that one person with an American passport might be following in the footsteps of Adam Lanza, Dylann Roof, James Holmes, Robert Hawkins, Robert Stewart or Terry Ratzmann," said the Prime Minister of Wakanda. "I'm sure most Americans have nothing to do with that kind of mass murder, but it would help if they would at least condemn it and try to prevent it."

Other countries are expected to follow suit, rejecting the argument that spree killings have nothing to do with the American character, and that all the damage has been done by extremists.

"It says right in their holiest manuscript that they have the right to guns. How can you say they aren't a violent people?"

Makes sense to me.

1. Hope one isn't Mexico

Planning a vacation down there.

[Suich]

2. The Onion? n/t

[BlueJazz]

8. I got it in an Email from a friend. Asked for the link but (it being Friday) he's probably on a date

[Cassiopeia]

3. Awesome

[RayLib]

4. Fictional country

You do realize that Wakanda is a fictional country?

[panader0]

9. Welcome to DU--hold on tight!

[sarge43]

23. And keep your arms inside the car at all times.

Best stay out of The Lounge, too.

[LiberalArkie]

24. RayLib seems smart. Can we keep him/her? Please.

RayLib has not announced any affiliation of either sect yet. So hopefully safe.

[uppityperson]

17. Really?

[LiberalArkie]

26. There are numerous sects here.

We have the Hillary Sect.
We have the Bernie Sect.
We have the O'Malley Sect.
We have the Sect of the Fly.
We have the Sect of the Fly Exterminators.
We have the Sect of the Che Bernies.

I know I am forgetting some.

[daleanime]

28. FSM?

[LiberalArkie]

32. More than likely, but probably a pretty passive group. I don't think a FSM member has been altered

on for being of that sect.

[daleanime]

33. I don't know if I would say 'passive'

more like limp.

[pablo_marmol]

34. Sorry......but I'm going to have to take offense to that!

[Jim Lane]

37. Wait, you can get altered for being pro-FSM? I thought that was just cats and dogs. (n/t)

[stareagle]

40. Yes, I do

It was Wakanda or Latveria, and I figured the Prime Minster of Wakanda would be a more sympathetic character.

[DFW]

5. I pass through Wakanda regularly

On the way to Freedonia........

[KamaAina]

11. I guess the border with the Grand Duchy of Fenwick is on the other side of the country.

[DFW]

14. Grand Fenwick is right down the road from me

Somewhere between Luxembourg and Liechtenstein.

[The Wielding Truth]

6. Haha.. Marvel comics fictional country.

[Dem2]

7. Well done

[951-Riverside]

10. That may become a reality under President Trump

If the economy collapses across the board (ie no access to food, transportation, fuel, medical supplies or currency) under President Trump, people will try to leave en masse. The ultra rich will probably flee to South America and Europe while the middle class and poor will try to flee to Mexico and Canada, of course Mexico would be the first to close their borders and Canada has very strict immigration policy.

The Americans that do get through to these countries will bring their gun culture and sense of entitlement and they'll probably shoot it out with the locals that try to remove them.

I guess what I'm saying is President Trump will be an epic disaster on a global scale.

[LiberalElite]

35. They'll have to change the national motto from

E Pluribus Unum to "What goes around comes around."

[Buns_of_Fire]

42. Well, he DID say there'd be a wall and Mexico would pay for it!

He's a sly one, that Rump fella. We don't have to build walls to keep THEM out -- just be so obnoxious that other countries will build walls to keep US out. He's a jeenius, I tells ya.

[KamaAina]

12. Wakanda? Isn't that near Ubeki-beki-bekistan?

[daleanime]

30. ........

[niyad]

13. I googled it, and the only reference (at the #3 spot) is your post.

it would make a great deal of sense, though.

[treestar]

15. That is a good satire

Makes a very good point.

[MineralMan]

16. How about a link and a list?

There is no information in your post, really.

[tblue37]

20. Satire is about recgnition, not about "facts." Swift didn't really think the English should

eat Irish babies, either.

[Fairgo]

27. mmm, Irish babies

Don't knock it until you try it. They taste like chicken.

[tblue37]

29. Are you sure chicken doesn't taste like Irish babies? nt

[Fairgo]

31. You just blew my mind

[SwankyXomb]

18. We should invade Wakanda now.

In order to keep our, whoops I mean their, precious Vibranium out of the hands of HYDRA terrorists.

[maindawg]

19. Why not

We invaded Grenada ,it was retaliation for the Beruit event I suppose.

[jwirr]

21. Oh and that Grenada invasion was so inspiring. Once we

knew we could win there we went on to conquer the ME - well not quite I guess.

[bigwillq]

22. Cool.

They should provide for folks already in those countries before they provide for folks from other countries.

[stupidicus]

25. LOL

thanks, that made my day

[L. Coyote]

36. They remind me of the Nacirema people, a violent tribe that built a nation on genocide.

And they did it with guns.

[brooklynite]

38. Can I suggest you offer a citation for your article?

[stareagle]

39. It's mine, actually

Just found this thread via Google.

I'm the author of this little bit of satire. It was originally posted to Facebook, and seems to have been traveling around. Glad y'all have enjoyed it, and yes, Wakanda is a fictional country from the Marvel Universe.

I am curious as to how it found its way here.

[Quixote1818]

41. Well done! nt

[BlueJazz]

43. I posted it here after seeing it in an email sent to me by a friend. I'm sure he received..

...it the same way.
Very well done and my hats off to ya' !

[niyad]

44. welcome to du, and well-done indeed.

[Phentex]

45. The question remains...

how did YOU find your way here?

[stareagle]

47. Google

You'd be amazed how few sites come up when you search for that set of murderers and Wakanda.

I was originally alerted to the fact that it had traveled beyond Facebook when I was told that someone from the Air Force was calling me a liar, because if Wakanda and 16 other countries had closed their borders, the Air Force would know.

Luckily for all of us, he didn't appear to have a high rank in the Air Force.

46. I wasn't planning to visit Nickelbackistan any time soon. n/t
