Feds Look the other Way As Drugs and Illegals Stream in from Mexico While Warning Hikers That Crossing Canadian Border Will Get Them Jailed

Do you think Janet NapoliReno ever looked up the word irony?

Consider the hilarious AP story entitled "Feds warn Pacific Crest Trail hikers about crossing border."

The U.S. Border Patrol is warning hikers on the Pacific Crest Trail they could face arrest, jail and a $5,000 fine if they cross the U.S.-Canadian border improperly.

The Wenatchee World reports that the agency sent a letter last month urging the Pacific Crest Trail Association to warn hikers to only enter the U.S. at designated border crossings... ...Mike Dawson, trail operations director for the Pacific Crest Trail Association, said he hopes exceptions can be made for hikers...

So Mexican gangs' drug- and human-smuggling operations are permitted to operate with total impunity on our southern border -- but a few hikers who accidentally cross the U.S./Canada border are thrown in jail and fined?

And all this time I thought Democrats believed in open borders.

Not to put too fine a point on its schizophrenia, but once this administration gets booted out of office, its members definitely have a future as writers for SNL.


Hat tip: Tooba Man.
