Republican Congress Passes Bill to Landmine Mexican Border

Sadly, I initially thought that this following "report" from the Daily Currant was true:

"The Republican House and Senate passed a bill today that would line the Mexican-American border with over 1.2 million PMZ-40 landmines. The bill, officially named the Patriotic American Protection Act (PAPA), will place three landmines every 10 feet across the entire 1,989 mile Mexican-American border.

"Explosives are cheaper and more effective than a wall,”senate majority leader Mitch McConnell told The Washington Times-Picayune, “Building a two thousand mile long wall was unrealistic to begin with. The landmines make much more sense."
