Mexicans Invading International Space Station

Border Violations Expanding...


I had to laugh out loud when I read the headline to THIS STORY:

LAWMAKERS VOTE TO LAUNCH MEXICAN "NASA"

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - They may be light years away from fulfilling their dream, but Mexican lawmakers are preparing to launch a national space agency they hope could one day stand tall beside the United States NASA.

Mexico's lower house passed a law on Wednesday, which if approved by the upper chamber, would create a space agency to coordinate research and work with universities and the private sector to launch communication and weather satellites.

With an initial budget proposal of less than $2 million, the backers of the Mexican Space Agency say it would struggle to challenge its northern neighbor's National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or NASA, but hope it would draw Mexico into the international space community, bringing access to cutting-edge technology and research.

So there you have it...ladies and gentlemen...the yet to be finished International Space Station will soon have ammenities like maid service, well groomed lawns, and possibly a stone or Mexican tiled foyer, not to mention an occupancy rate of two or three thousand swarthy, wild eyed, Mexican flag waving "immigrants."

I wonder if the space toilets can handle the by-products of burritos and Guacamole?

Where will it all end? (Is there a Cuban "NASA" on the horizion?)
