Immigration - Ants
I like analogies. I really like this one...
John F. Allen writes at CollinsReport.net:
"Ants are good at finding the shortest path from a food source to their nest. Illegal aliens are just as skilled at meeting their goals. Like ants, they will go to a food/job source until it no longer serves their needs.
Both ants and illegal invaders bring unsanitary conditions that threaten civil societies. Both can seemly hone in on their targets without using visual cues. They transmit information about a “find” to others in their nests.
Both are capable of adapting to changes in their environment, and changing their ways of life to fit new circumstances. Illegal invaders from subtropical climates can be found in Minnesota laying sod and shoveling snow. Ants will adapt and find a new short path to what they want if an existing path is some how blocked. When faced with a wall, illegal invaders will find a way around it.
Ants will use a form of communication to maintain a path to what they want; they mark their trail. When a way through our border is discovered by an illegal invader word of this new path spreads back to others, always, all the time. Neither ants nor illegal invaders are deterred once they find a weakness in an obstacle keeping them away from their goals."
