“Hey, if we declared the entire border with Mexico a National Park, would it be closed now?”

As this article points out, criminal illegal aliens are exempt from the "closures."

Oh beautiful for spacious skies
For Amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America! God sheds His tears on thee,
Now crowned thy good with 'Bamas hoods,
From sea to shining sea!
