Chapter 4(Trump era)
The wall
***...
Orky Gonzalez the illegal immigrant sat with multitudes of other illegal immigrants, crammed together in the seats of a commercial passenger aircraft. In his hands Orky Gonzalez held his temporary one week tourist visa, his extremely cheap ticket, and equally cheap passport, the entire ensemble costing him like 300 pesos, cheap enough for anyone but true refugees to afford.
Orky was on his way to the nation of the United tribes of Ork, to start a new life as an illegal immigrant picking strawberries and doing other such work that local citizens refused to do. The moment he landed he would collect his massive amount of luggage and disappear off the grid, overstaying his visa and never leaving.
A quick look around the aircraft showed hundreds and hundreds of Orks also holding temporary tourist visas, and this aircraft was just one of hundreds and hundreds of aircraft, all filled to bursting with eager immigrants flooding into the country.
"Oi look, it's da border wall!" An Ork shouted excitedly, pointing out the window.
Orky and the others all pressed their faces against the glass, and squinted down to see a wall far far below.
"Dat looks real nice," an Ork opined.
The other illegal immigrants all nodded in agreement, it did indeed look really nice.
"I wonder if it will keep out any immigrants?," Orky Gonzalez asked curiously.
The hundreds of other illegal immigrants on the aircraft all murmured curiously and shrugged, as the aircraft flew straight over the wall the way that aircraft do...
"Oh look, a gap in da wall!" One of the Orks shouted, pointing.
The others all peered down.
Down below, Orky saw a gap in the wall, in the middle of the nastiest, roughest, most unpleasant desert he had ever seen in his life.
"Who da heck would even walk through dat desert?! Someone might die!" Orky exclaimed in wonder.
"Yeah, a little girl died in dat desert crossing just last week, it was really bad," another Ork informed him.
"Why didn't they just get on a plane like us?," Orky Gonzalez asked horrified.
"I think they were like, starving destitute refugees fleeing for their lives or something, too poor for even a plane ticket and tourist visa," Orky was informed.
"Geez, dat really sucks. Poor kid," Orky said, feeling glum.
"How many people actually go in on foot?," Orky asked.
"Um, well I think dat 99.999 percent of illegal immigrants get on a nice safe plane with a tourist visa like us. You have to be pretty much dying or something to walk through that nasty desert, it's really dangerous and hot," a neighbouring Ork said thinking.
Orky scratched his head and said, "then why bother building a big expensive wall?, Is it to keep out drugs and crime and Ork gangs like M-S-Orkteen?"
"I is a member of M-S-Orkteen", a nearby Ork announced cheerfully.
"Me too," said approximately 50 other Orks on the aircraft.
"You all use da planes?!" Orky asked in surprise.
"Of course! Why da heck would we foot slog through dat nasty desert for days when we can just get a 30 minute plane flight for real cheep?," one of the M-S-Orkteen members laughed.
"Um, well actually dat makes a lotta sense," Orky Gonzalez admitted.
"But da wall will at least stop drugs right?," Orky suggested desperately.
"You think a concrete wall will dissuade a multi billion peso drug cartel?, You is mad! Da cartels put da drugs all hidden in da back of shipping containers and put them on da legal ships, bribe da officials to get hundreds and hundreds of tons of drugs through da ports, much less complicated than crossing dat nasty desert," one of the M-S-Orkteen Orks chuckled amused.
Orky Gonzalez scratched his head in complete confusion.
"Den why did da Boss Trump shut down da entire government to get billions and billions to build even MORE of dat wall?!" Orky asked in dismayed confusion.
"Um, cause his supporter boys are colossal racists who think we don't use planes?," another illegal immigrant Ork suggested.
"But how can they not know dat we use planes?! Every Ork on da planet uses planes! Are they stupid or something?!" Orky exclaimed incredulously.
The plane full of illegal immigrants flew on through the sky, off in the distant skies all around it were at least a hundred identical planes, all filled to bursting with immigrants and M-S-Orkteen. The passengers all thought that the border wall looked real nice as they flew over it.
