Best reason to build a wall along U.S.- Mexico border

That bon mot is from the wit (wits?) at The Babylon Bee ("Your trusted source for Christian news satire") a Twitter page that's giving the satirical website "The Onion" a run for its money. 

I'd never heard of BB until RT gave them a plug today in a report headlined "Russia wins": Fury in Washington as Trump announces withdrawal from Syria. Unfortunately, there is nothing satirical about the report but the irrepressible sense of humor RT editorial staff was compelled to develop after years of being a target of U.S./British anti-Russian propaganda finally bubbled up:

At publishing time, Benson had phoned his wife and asked her to pick up something nice for herself, since he didn't have time to buy her anything yet.
