Arizona cedes strip of borderland to Ukraine to force Obama to recognize Mexican border

VALNUT, Pustelya Kiev (formerly Nogales, Ariz.) (TG) – Still reeling from a 2012 Supreme Court ruling that prohibited it from enforcing its border with Mexico, Arizona today formally ceded a 398-mile-long strip of land spanning its entire border with Mexico to the embattled European country of Ukraine. Extending 20 miles inland from the Mexican border, the Ukrainian exclave, dubbed Pustelya Kiev in a brief incorporation ceremony, is larger than the state of Connecticut by area.

Since the March 1 military occupation of Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula, the Obama administration has been loudly chiding Russia about the virtues of territorial integrity and the importance of respecting international borders. In a grave sign that the crisis could soon spin out of control, President Obama even cast aspersions at Russian Dictator Vladimir Putin’s choice of lawyers and threatened to unholster his favorite Crayola, “Razzmatazz,” to draw yet another meaningless red line.

I’ve always said we should give such a strip to the Israelis or Afrikaans. That’d stop illegal immigration in no time.

I’ve often thought we should offer Israel a 20-mile wide strip of land along the Mexican border. I think we’d solve two problems with one solution.
