WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) – In what some are calling his boldest executive order to date, President Obama signed an order on Tuesday that would convert a little-used government building in the nation’s capital into housing for amnestied immigrants. 

Signing the order in an Oval Office ceremony, the President said that American taxpayers would finally receive some value for a building that remains empty and unused for much of the year.

“It will be a cause for celebration to see this building filled with people who are excited about making contributions to American society,” he said.
