Christie: I Would Bring Traffic Over the Border to a Standstill (Borowitz)

[catbyte]

IOWA CITY (The Borowitz Report)— Testing the political waters in Iowa today, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said that if he is elected President, he would bring the flow of illegal immigrants over the U.S.-Mexico border to a virtual standstill.

“There are ways of keeping people from getting to where they want to go,” Christie said, claiming that he was the only Republican hopeful with the hands-on experience necessary to fix the border crisis.

The New Jersey governor was vague about how he would halt traffic over the border, but exuded confidence that he was the right man for the job.

“I’d make a few phone calls,” he said. “It would get done.”

6. Andy Borowitz writes satire & it appears in The New Yorker magazine. You should

7. poor Iowa.

Hard to accept that they must like all this early t-folk attention. Wish Iowa would change to a real primary rather than easily rigged caucus thing. How many 'won' last time? I know Paul won in the end, but there were other so called winners!
