Statement from Border Patrol Gardener Mel Eficent (left): “The Border Patrol deeply regrets its overreach in bulldozing the border garden at Friendship Park, which has for so long served as a symbol of the harmony and beauty in the relations between the United States and Mexico. Unfortunately, it came to our attention that criminals were using the cover provided by the garden’s growth to conduct illegal activities, and it was determined that some trimming back was in order. But you know how it is when the government gets involved: if we can requisition a $20 shovel, why not get a $200,000 steam shovel? One thing led to another, and pretty soon it was scorched earth. Happily, it gave us an opportunity to summon our eldritch energies and conjure up a suitable replacement planting that should please both the botanists and the border guards.”
