Brazil to deport illegal immigrants to Antarctica


Not many people are aware of Brazil's illegal immigrant problem. It's been kept quiet for decades even though each year more and more of the same immigrants show up by trying to sneak across Rio De Janeiro's beaches unnoticed.

Some say global warming has a lot to do with it. Others have suggested the immigrants are drawn to Rio's beaches because of the natives.

Brazil has decided that more direct action is required. Rather than lock up the illegals, as has often happened in the past, the government will now round them up, put them on a Brazilian air force plane and ship them to southern Brazil. From there, the Brazilian navy will transport them to Antarctica.

The immigrants shouldn't be too fussed about it. They are used to the cold. Most penguins are.
