Congress finally passed a law that they thought would benefit themselves, but fell into the loophole that gave the country freedom from their idiotic logic.
Sorry, but the whole world is full of idiots. (Intelligent readers of this strip excluded, of course.) It would just be one big shuffle from box to another. Eventually, we’d get all of our idiots back again and have to start all over.
We have had a couple of dozen commentators point out that all the world has a surplus of idiots, which is true. The sad thing is that we are ALL idiots, every one of us, even the smartest, even the wisest.
What is worse, we are stupid not just at things we do poorly but at things we do well. Albert Einstein (a sloppy dresser, so so husband, and mediocre mathematician) was brilliant enough to see that matter and energy are the same thing, that time can be slowed and mass can be increased, and a whole lot of other things I am too stupid to understand — yet even he and a century of brilliant minds that followed him could not reconcile gravity with the rest of existence.
This universe is rife with primitive, single-celled (or equivalent) life forms. It probably contains large numbers of planets with advanced life — like cabbages. It is even likely to have other intelligences comparable to or slightly more advanced than us.

Shouldn’t Rat be in that box? He’s the one we want to send away, and I’m sure someone could bribe those agents…

“We gots the fools in town on our side, and ain’t the fools always in the majority?” Mark Twain.
Also, if you like gutter level politics, read ’The Fools In Town Are On Our Side" by Ross Thomas.

When I was younger I traveled a litte. I never visited a country that hadn’t enough idiots of their own.

I have bad news for you. All countries all full of humans and, by definition, are way over their quota of idiots.
