Texas Begins Construction On Northern Border Wall To Keep Democrat Lawmakers From Returning

TEXHOMA, TX — Democratic lawmakers who fled the state to disrupt a vote on a new congressional redistricting map could soon find themselves out of a job, as Governor Greg Abbott announced the construction of a giant northern border wall designed to keep them out permanently.

Abbott issued a statement declaring that while any Democrat who did not show up to vote on the new redistricting map was vacating their seat, he would also be building a wall to prevent them from re-entering the state.

"You all can just stay up there in Oklahoma," Abbott said. "I just wanted them to come back and get to work, but then I realized them leaving was the best thing they could have ever done. We realized we can just build this wall to keep them out."

Since the politicians in question are U.S. citizens, Abbott cannot legally keep them out of the state, but he can make things difficult. That's why he authorized the reallocation of some of the materials used to construct the wall along the state's southern border to be used along its border with Oklahoma. Democrats will now be forced to enter through designated checkpoints that slow their progress.

"We may choose to allow them to come back, but they must do so legally," said Abbott. "Any of them found on our side of the wall will be swiftly deported back to Oklahoma."

At publishing time, some of the exiled Democratic Party lawmakers were reportedly hiring black-market coyotes to lead them across the northern border of Texas.

They should have snipers all along the Texas state lines. Shoot on sight, shoot to kill. Texas isn’t fond of COWARDS.

And the West Wall to keep the Californians would also help.

And here the Bee thought that once Trump was inaugurated, they wouldn’t have anything to use for material.

swiftly deported back to Oklahoma

Not if Judge Boasberg has anything to say about it.

On a side note, Maryland Senator Chris Von Hollen is prepared to go to Oklahoma if he doesn't have to fly commercial and meet with them and offer counsel over Margaritas.

In the old film noirs, drivers would have to show ID’s at the California border (when entering from another state, not just Mexico).

They still have ‘agricultural checkpoints’ on the major highways into CA.

The Babylon Bee is on target, as usual.

Of course, the Texas Democrats are low-flying, big, slow targets that are easy to hit.
