LOS ANGELES

VIDEO OF ACTRESS Selena Gomez weeping for potential targets of Donald Trump’s illegal immigrant deportation plan, has caused a scientist to suggest that such tears of sympathy, if harnessed, could be used to augment California’s precarious water supply.

Dr Alfred Croc, a researcher at the Vlad The Impaler Corporation, a right-wing think tank, reckons that the millions of Americans who will be crying over The Donald’s plan to ship eleven million illegals out of their country, could donate their mournful fluid to any dry reservoirs in California.

“We’re talking vast amounts of usable water here. Think of what that could do for Los Angeles. This could be what we need to prevent another catastrophic fire there. This and a competent state and city government. And any tears will do, no discrimination – that should satisfy DEI demands. We could pass them through a desalination process first and sell the salt to help the fire department keep its vehicles on the road and provide proper water pressure in the hydrants.”
