SCOTT WALKER PROPOSES U.S.-CANADA BORDER; RICK SANTORUM WANTS SEA WALL AROUND ALASKA AND HAWAII

Walker, left, and Santorum

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles®) – Political analysts and pundits are now calling them the “Border Republicans.” Donald Trump, Scott Walker and Rick Santorum — Republican presidential candidates all — are hugging the limelight where it shines most: illegal immigration.

Everyone is getting tired of Trump’s “great wall” along the U.S. southern border with Mexico.

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker just found a new hot button issue  to help beef up his campaign: build a U.S. northern border.

In an interview for NBC’s “Meet the Press”, Walker said his tough talk to securing the borders and enforcing U.S. laws extends to the 5,525-mile Canadian border as well.

It’s a shift from most campaign-trail rhetoric, which has focused on the  border with Mexico, where millions undocumented immigrants have entered the country.

Not wanting to be left behind, former Senator Rick Santorum came up with his own border policy idea.  He wants a sea wall built around all islands in the state of Hawaii to deter undocumented immigrants from Asia and the Pacific from entering the U.S.  He is also proposing a similar sea wall between Alaska and Russia.  (Many will recall that while campaigning for vice president, former Governor Sarah Palin said that she can see Russia from her backyard.)

The Republicans may finally see a tighter competition among its presidential candidates.

Will Trump’s commanding lead in the polls finally drop?

Will other candidates join the bandwagon and align themselves with the border Republicans?

AT MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS, KANYE WEST DECLARES HE’S RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT IN 2020. SERIOUSLY

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles® ) –   ‘And yes, as you probably could have guessed by this moment, I have decided in 2020 to run for president.’ With these words  rapper Kanye West officially declared his candidacy to be the next leader of the free world.

West made the surprise announcement on live TV during last night’s MTV Video Music Awards where he received the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.

The segment started with a bang when West was handed his Moonman by an unexpected contemporary: reigning pop queen / one-time Kanye “victim” Taylor Swift. After a narrated montage containing clips from every part of West’s career, Swift came up on stage and talked about her West fandom and his influence on her career. She wrapped her speech by quoting West’s infamous 2009 VMA interruption — you know, the one where he rushed the stage and grabbed the mic from Swift to defend Beyoncé’s work — to proclaim that he’s had “one of the greatest careers of all time.”

Speaking to reporters after the telecast, West said, ‘If an idiot like Donald Trump can run for president, why can’t I ?’  He then thanked Barack Obama for showing the world that black men can be president in the U.S.

Kim Kardashian, who was standing beside West during the interview with reporters, was asked how she feels about being First Lady.  She responded with a Sarah Palin-style wink at the reporter who asked the question.

Here’s the full video of West’s acceptance speech at the Video Musis Awards.

CARLY FIORINA WANTS PREGNANCY TEST FOR ALL ARRIVING WOMEN TOURISTS IN U.S.

DES MOINES, Iowa (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina on Thursday reiterated claims made by her rival Jeb Bush that Asian women oftentimes come to the U.S. for the purpose of having babies, which then provide them with the rewards of health care, education and ultimately in most cases, future citizenship.

During remarks to the press in Le Mars, Iowa, Fiorina, who has had some momentum in the polls since her well-received debate performance earlier this month, asserted that “there’s an industry that has been set up in L.A. where Chinese women come over on a tourist visa and have a baby. This abuse has been going on for a while. We need to stop it.”

Asked if she had a proposal to fix the problem, Fiorina said that if elected president, she will issue an executive order requiring all women tourists  — 13 years old and above– from China and other Asian countries to undergo a pregnancy test upon arrival at U.S. Airports.  “Those found to be pregnant will be sent back immediately to their home country,” she said.

Responding to a reporter question, Fiorina said her proposal will not cost the U.S. taxpayers a single penny. The cost of the home pregnancy test kit ($15.99) will be collected from each arriving woman passenger whether or not the test comes back positive.

Fiorina did not address the issue of women tourists who become pregnant while in the U.S.
