“So, you claim to be a Canadian,” the ICE agent said. “Let’s see your passport and visa.”
“You gotta be joking, mister. I don’t need documentation. According to the Migratory Fowl Act, I have a right to be here.”
“Well, that’s all changed. The current administration requires that all Canadians visiting the USA must have a passport. If you don’t, you will be deported back to Canada immediately.”
“Brrr! It’s freezing up there. Please, can’t this wait until spring?”
“No, I’m arresting you.”
“Try to catch me!” And the Canada goose took wing and flew away, honking in a mocking tone.
Ha, ha! Fun story. Reminds me of the time W’s newly-invented TSA refused Cat Stevens entry into the US after 9/11. Of course, he’d changed his name to Yusuf Islam, so obviously a scary terrorist-type. Not!
Truth to power, Brother! Truth to power.
Whatever our views on immigration, I think we all can agree that this is funny! Thanks, Eric!
From a Canadian, non-goose, I am worried that the ICE agent took a pot shot at the goose as he/she flew away.
Loved your reference to a “Migratory Fowl Act!”
