The
Times of India discusses
Raj on the border.
In the upcoming US elections, illegal immigration and border security is not exactly the unnoticed elephant in the room, but an Indian-American aspirant for Congress chose to use pachyderms to show just how porous the American border has become.
Raj Bhakta, a Philadelphia native who is running for Congress from Eastern Pennsylvania's 13th District, hired three elephants and a six-piece mariachi band, and splashed through the Rio Grande River that borders the United States and Mexico to prove that border security has broken down.
