Trump Praises Kim on Immigration: "No One Is Trying to Get Into Your Country"

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

NORTH KOREA (The Borowitz Report)—Setting foot in North Korea for the first time, on Sunday, President Donald Trump praised that nation’s dictator, Kim Jong Un, for his efforts on immigration, telling Kim, “No one is trying to get into your country.”

After crossing into North Korea from the Demilitarized Zone, Trump remarked to the North Korean leader, “Your border is amazing! There are no people whatsoever trying to get in. You should see our border—it’s a complete mess.”

Barely containing his envy, Trump continued, “Of course, you don’t have Congress to deal with, like I do. They’ve caused all the problems I’ve had on immigration. You’ve got a much better deal. You want to build a wall, you build a wall. No one can tell you you can’t.”

Surveying the border admiringly, Trump bemoaned the brevity of his impromptu visit with Kim. “I have so much to learn from you,” Trump said. “You must be doing something right.”

1. I love Borowitz, but these days it can be hard to tell truth from satire.

[Buckeyeblue]

4. Sometimes the two are blurred

The final book about the Trump presidency will read like a satire. Future generations may read it as fiction.

[Mystery sage]

6. True dat.

[exboyfil]

11. Yes I had to double take this one

I mean you do have Tucker Carlson saying world leaders need to kill people to stay in power. It is difficult to keep this straight.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

2. Satire aside...People are dying to GET OUT of NK!!!!!

That is a fact!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. That's why the satire works. Nobody wants to live there.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

7. Sometimes, LITERALLY

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. It's satire. But true anyhow.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

9. Yeah. Just realized

But Trump is so dumb that this seems real.

10. Amazing

That is funny yet also throws a light on attitudes towards immigration.

12. Poe's Law. Real--or Borowitz? nt

13. OMG -- SOOOO relieved to see this is Borowitz !

If this had been true, I would have said, "screw this visa shit, I'm hopping a container ship to Amsterdam".

[Wounded Bear]

14. I know it's Borowitz, but...

I've often figured that the Repub plan to "fix" immigration was to turn the US in a 3rd world shithole that nobody wants to come to.

Looks like they're well on the way.

[Takket]

15. pretty sure Mt. Vesuvius has 0 cases of undocumented immigrants as well.......

what exactly does that prove?

[Vinca]

16. I swear I read that and assumed it was actually uttered by Trump. LOL.

[smirkymonkey]

17. I honestly did not recognize this as satire upon first glance.

That is how effed up this situation is! Borowitz nails it again!
