SUNLAND PARK, NM—Disaster occurred at the US-Mexico border earlier this week after the installation of seesaws on the border wall. Part of an art project by UC Berkeley faculty, the seesaws were intended to let kids on both sides of the border play with each other as a powerful statement about unity and love across borders.
Unfortunately, as obese American kids rushed to the seesaws to enjoy playing with their fellow humans on the Mexican side of the border, they accidentally launched hundreds of Mexican children over the wall.
"We did not see this coming," said one Berkeley professor. "We just wanted the kids to play together and have some fun. But it seems like we didn't account for just how fat American kids are these days."
The Mexican kids were launched hundreds of feet in the air before landing on the American side of the border. Americans frantically set up a bunch of trampolines to catch them, though these bounced them pretty high and second, smaller trampolines had to be set up to catch them from their bounce. In the end, four trampolines in a row did the trick.
Hearing about the installation, those looking to immigrate to the U.S. rushed to the site and allowed the overweight American kids to continue catapulting person after person over the fencing installation until it was shut down by the Border Patrol.
Lol! I love it!
Snopes! Snopes! Fact check! Fact check!

No pic no click
No problem.
There is always a huge benefit for the “wrong” people in any liberal endeavor.
Yes. However, the entertainment factor is undeniable.
The Babylon Bee is OK.
It’s a Christian satire site and hilariously funny.
True. It is listed in Humor for that reason.
LOL. Good stuff. A lot of xenophiles will be offended though.
Plenty of pics accompanying this link:

Are you sure it’s the lack of pics?
Funny....it’s just a stunt to get American kids to decide they like the Mexican kids...more early stage brainwashing....
obvious satire

Good.
I know. The writers much watch a lot of The Three Stooges.
Snopes: False
The launch trajectory of a child sitting on a seesaw is incompatible with the height of the wall in this area. A Mexican child would have impacted the wall as opposed to clearing the top. However, it is true that American children are fat, due to conservative policy and global warming.

The post is satire.
That being said, it is later than we think.
I know it’s satire - the comment about the stunt was for those who put the seesaws up in the first place.
Please set up problem for wall clearance by catapultee:
1) Height of wall
2) Length of SeeSaw.
3) Height of SeeSaw. Assume center fulcrum point.
4) Weight of American child.
5) Weight of Mexican child.
6) Desired flight length and height.
