In Brownsville, he witnessed half a dozen men swim under one of the international bridges “with complete immunity” which in turn prompted him to take the immigration issue to the next level.

Bhakta decided to see if he could get an elephant accompanied by a six-piece mariachi band across the river.

According to his Web site, he is in favor of “sensible immigration reform” and supports a border fence, local law enforcement assistance with immigration laws and the use of the National Guard troops to help the U.S. Border Patrol.

“To my surprise, the band played on, the elephants splashed away, and nobody showed up,” Bhakta said of the stunt. “I’m astounded.”

Hilarious, yet problematic.

We need a fence or something.

I'm sure if they had been terrorist elephants the Feds would have been right on it.

Maybe if politicians cared more for their country than the hispanic vote we wouldn't see things like this.
Being in debt and celebrating a lower deficit is like being on a diet and celebrating the fact you gained two pounds this week instead of five.

They're making a circus of our border policy.

I am now ashamed of relatives who had to pay around $1000 USD to get across. Idiots could have crossed for free.

This can only serve to embolden like-minded Mexican mariachi bands and their pachyderm cohorts. Arm the border patrol with elephant guns!
