“While we are not happy about seeing slimmer immigrants still sneaking across the border, it is a major victory for our country to put a stop to illegal border crossings from grotesquely overweight immigrants,” Mitch McConnell said with his famous resting-bitch-face smile. “Our agenda from day one was to stop all these murderers, rapists, and drug dealers from making their way into the U.S. illegally, and we have finally secured the funds to stop them.
