The Aliens Came and waited: An Intergalactic Comedy at the Border Wall.
Find out what happens when aliens landed behind a border wall
Aliens! You've seen them in movies, read about them in books,
and if you're particularly conspiratorially inclined, you've probably spotted them at your local supermarket buying aluminum foil (probably for their hats, right?). But what you haven't heard is the story of how a hyper-advanced extraterrestrial delegation intended to change Earth forever... only to hit a wall. And I do mean that quite literally.
A Grand Entrance to... Nowhere?
Picture this: a dazzling light show in the sky, more impressive than the best fireworks display on the Fourth of July. Everyone's expecting them to land in Washington, D.C., or perhaps on the lawn of the United Nations. World leaders were primed for historic handshakes that would make for epic selfies. But no, these extraterrestrial visitors had another destination in mind: the scenic deserts near the U.S.-Mexico border. Why there, you ask? Well, our intergalactic friends had done their homework and binge-watched episodes of "Ancient Aliens," concluding that the real party must surely be near the mystical ruins of Chichen Itza. Go figure!
The Great Wall of Confusion
As the spacecraft, which was sleek enough to make even the coolest Silicon Valley techies green with envy, descended, it became apparent there was one tiny detail the aliens hadn't accounted for—the infamous border wall. There it stood: tall, unyielding, and frankly, a bit of an interstellar navigation hazard. Communicating through what can only be described as a very advanced game of cosmic charades, the aliens made it clear: they had come bearing gifts of technology that could, among other things, turn your average smartphone into an actual apple (like, the fruit). Imagine the confusion at health food stores!
The Encounter at the Border
Word got out, and soon there was a crowd gathered, a mix of border patrol, curious onlookers, local vendors sensing an opportunity, and, of course, a few folks ready to welcome our new overlords with open arms and freshly made "I ♥️ Elvis Aliens" T-shirts. But despite the fanfare, the aliens couldn’t quite seem to get the hang of human bureaucracy. Forms in triplicate to enter the U.S.? Even a being with seven brains found that excessive.
The Wait... A Universal Constant
So, there they sat in a sort of cosmic DMV limbo. One alien tried to levitate over the wall, only to be met with the stern finger-wagging of a border officer. Another attempted to phase through it, but forgot that phase-shifting doesn’t work on materials with political significance. Meanwhile, entrepreneurial spirits soared as savvy locals set up stands selling "E.T. Phone Home—But First, Let Me Take a Selfie" merch. The food trucks did booming business, because if there's one thing humans and aliens could agree on, it's that tacos are the universal language of yum.
The Resolution? To Be Continued...
The standoff continues, with negotiations involving high-ranking officials, the promise of unlimited guacamole, and possibly a Netflix deal for the documentary rights. And while we wait for the red tape to unravel, the aliens have been spotted consulting with the local wildlife, presumably asking if they have any tips for dealing with human shenanigans.
So the next time you hit a wall (figuratively or literally), remember our extraterrestrial visitors. They crossed the galaxy only to be stumped by human construction and even more by human customs.And the moral of the story? If you're planning on giving world-altering technology to humanity, maybe send a text first. Or at least bring a universal translator that handles bureaucratic jargon. Until next time, keep your eyes on the stars ( cause it looks like they are not getting in), because you never know when you'll need to break bread, or tortillas, with a new friend from the cosmos.
…and remember to laugh and smile…this world needs it.
