Canada to Build Twenty-foot Fence if Perry Elected
________________________________________________________________________________

OTTAWA ( The Borowitz Report) –

Canada warned today that if Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX) is elected President of the United States
in 2012, it would take the “regrettably necessary step” of constructing a 20-foot fence along its
entire border with the U.S.

“This is a step that we don’t take lightly,” said Canadian Border Security Minister Ian McLarrity.
“However, we must protect ourselves from the prospect of millions of Americans pouring
over the border.”

Mr. McLarrity said that Canadian border officials were alarmed by the volume of panicky
comments regarding Americans’ migratory plans in the event of a Perry win posted on
websites ranging from National Public Radio to Huffington Post.

“We are taking this threat very seriously,” he said. “We will electrify the fence if necessary.”

Perhaps taking the lead from Canada, Mexican officials said today that in the event of a
Perry victory it would install tollbooths in its secret underground tunnels, which would require
travelers to provide documentary evidence that they are members of a drug cartel in order
to gain entry to Mexico.

At a campaign stop in Florida today, Gov. Perry addressed the prospect of an electrified
fence being erected on the United States’ northern border.

“My position on electrocution is a matter of public record,” he said. “I’m for it.”
