Half the working age adult males are already in the U.S. Here comes the other half.
Volcanoes happen.
Doesn’t that assume that we have a fence.?
Didn’t Mt Etna go boom recently?
Yes - Catania (nearby town) got ash dumped on it
Didn’t El Paso and our side of the border get ash dumped for the biden years ?
With everything going on in the world, I better keep my eyes on the three in my state.
“Here comes the other half.”
No worries. Yosemite will get them.

Mt. Etna is erupting in Sicily.

The “ we are gonna need a bigger fence” comment wins and yes if you look worldwide you will see that big seismic events do happen in bunches. I don’t know why ... just my observations over 50 years or so.
oh yeah...why link to the communist news network?
You mean Yellowstone?
With everything going on in the world, I better keep my eyes on the three in my state.

Biden will sign an E.O. outlawing volcanic eruptions in the U.S.
What? There are still millions of people in Mexico? I thought they were all moved to the US. I guess this volcano will nudge the rest of them to head north.
HA! Ain’t that the truth.
