That's good. We should get some of those Hokkaido snow monkeys and drop them off in Idaho though. Is this ecologically a good idea? Absolutely not. But it would make the place more interesting

Isn't North America entirely "above the jungle"?

No, Mexico has jungle at the bottom, and some would describe everything north of the Darien gap as North America. It's just not uncommon to treat Central America as something different

I can't think of a better job for ICE.

the racist fucks already think of brown people as simians so they won't notice

they need to be stored in horribly small cages until they are shipped 'home' or - oops - die.

This task has 'ICE gestapo' written all over it.
