The headline tells you most all you need to know, but there are a few ironic twists. "Human cannonball to be fired across U.S.-Mexico border" informs us that David Smith Sr. is going to perform the stunt from Tijuana over to Border Field State Park in San Diego. This might be next Saturday, or it might have already occurred. In any case, since no one really cares:

The feat is the brainchild of Venezuelan artist Javier Tellez and is part of a series of public art projects in the two border cities...

Tellez organized the cannonball launch with psychiatric patients at the Baja California Mental Health Center in Mexicali, Mexico as a therapeutic project...

Although it is against the law for anyone, including U.S. citizens, to enter the country outside an official port of entry, Smith Sr. won't be crossing illegally. U.S. Border Patrol Chief David Aguilar made an exception for him...

Isn't that cute? Of course, all he needed to do was become a citizen of Mexico, Brazil, or Yemen and he wouldn't have needed permission, just a corrupt employer and corrupt politicians to support him.
