KOROR, PALAU — In a move rocking the tranquil political waters of the Pacific, Palau’s Senate voted to block a controversial Trump-era deal to resettle up to 75 migrants from the United States, citing grave concerns over the potential for, quote, “literally dozens” of new residents.

Under the agreement, signed by President Surangel Whipps Jr in December, Palau—a nation with a population roughly equivalent to a minor league baseball game—would have accepted third-country nationals facing removal from the US. But local lawmakers have raised alarms over what some called “an unprecedented quadrupling of our kayak rental business.”

“Frankly, we’re not prepared for a sudden population boom that could push our weekly bingo night attendance into triple digits,” said Senator Elson Obichang, nervously eyeing a spreadsheet with the number 75 written in red marker. “If this trend continues, schoolchildren might have to share their coconut halves at lunch. That’s simply unsustainable.”

Skeptics also questioned whether Palau’s infrastructure could withstand a meteoric influx of new faces. “We only have enough WiFi passwords for the current population,” cautioned Chief Infrastructure Officer Maribel Tmetuchl. “What if they all want Netflix?”

Trump administration officials maintained the plan would have been a win-win. “This is a beautiful deal—tremendous for everyone,” insisted a spokesperson for former President Trump, from his golf cart. “Seventy-five is a very special number to me. Palau will thank me, bigly.”

The lower house must now decide whether to risk destabilizing the neighborhood barbecue scene. President Whipps Jr. remained unavailable for comment, reportedly busy calculating how many lawn chairs the nation currently owns.
