Nation’s Soccer Celebration to Include Convenient ICE Checkpoints at Stadium Exits
In preparation for next year’s FIFA World Cup, Vice President JD Vance announced an innovative new program Tuesday that encourages international soccer fans to “enjoy the beautiful game, then immediately get the hell out.”
“We’re thrilled to welcome millions of soccer enthusiasts from around the globe,” Vance said during a World Cup task force meeting. “And we’ve streamlined the process for them to experience both our nation’s hospitality and our efficient removal procedures.”
The administration’s “Goal and Go Home” initiative features several fan-friendly amenities, including border patrol agents stationed at stadium exits, commemorative self-deportation forms printed on the back of match programs, and special “Extra Time” detention facilities constructed adjacent to tailgating areas.
“We want visitors to know exactly where they stand,” explained Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. “Specifically, in a line moving steadily toward an international departure gate.”
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy elaborated on the visitor experience: “Feel free to buy souvenirs, take pictures at Mount Rushmore, even start a wave in the stadium—but don’t get any funny ideas about starting a life here.”
Officials have assured foreign visitors that MetLife Stadium’s concession stands will serve authentic international cuisine right up until the moment they’re escorted to waiting buses.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino praised the arrangements while nervously checking his own passport status. “This tournament will truly showcase America’s two greatest traditions: spectacular sporting events and weaponized bureaucracy.”
The White House has also announced a special promotional sweepstakes where randomly selected foreign attendees will win an all-expenses-paid one-way flight back to their country of origin, personally escorted by an ICE agent.
When asked if there would be any exceptions to the strict visa enforcement, Vance clarified: “Look, if Lionel Messi wants to stick around for an extra day of sightseeing, we can probably work something out. Everyone else needs to watch the clock like it’s stoppage time.”
At press time, officials were finalizing plans to have the U.S. national team wear special uniforms featuring the slogan “Thanks For Coming, Now Leave” printed beneath the American flag.
