We can learn a lot from Mother Nature.

There are many analogies, which can to some extent be formalized, between biological systems, social systems, and political systems.

Two animals can fight for dominance—over territory, each other, resources. Just like two countries. Maybe it fits in with the concept of “fair fight”, maybe not.

Or, an animal can be attacked asymmetrically, by virii, or bacteria, or even many little animals, like ants (or the mini-dinosaurs in Jurassic Park II). Similar things can happen with countries.

In the biologic arena, especially with micro-attackers, the correct strategy is twofold: isolation (through cleanliness) and disinfecting attack against the invading microbes—either natively through antibiotics. There is also a third possibility, eradication (DDT for malaria-bearing mosquitos).

In the political arena, the equivalent remedies are isolation (border security, restrictive immigration policy), and disinfection: Bug/destroy the mosques, break up the networks, go after the jihad culture (ban the Koran?). Also, there’s population relocation, distasteful as it may be, but still fitting the biological analogy. Finally, of course, there’s eradication, but with a billion or more of them out there, I’d think that’s not an analogy which works in the political arena.

Our southern border policy under Obama is liking treating an open wound only with antibiotics, rather than cleaning and bandaging it. Our visa/immigration policy, including our lottery, is like inviting infection. Trump is really the only person who seems to get it. Cruz maybe. No one else.

Am I insane here, or am I making sense?

A culture reflects the moral boundaries of it people and this in turn defines the laws of those people, written or unwritten, stated for all to abide by without exception. There cannot exist in a culture those that follow the laws of other contrary cultures. Legal immigration implies assimilation and those that want to immigrate agree to become part of that culture. A culture cannot survive a diversity within itself, and it never has. Ever.
The obvious truth of the ages has become obscure behind the smoke conjured from the ever seething cauldron of anarchy stirred by purveyors of upheaval. shrouded by political correctness, diversity is being used to spearhead an insidious assault by claiming a moral high ground through media indoctrination. Diversity has many places, laws are not one of them, neither is culture. The forest, yes, of course. A diversity of cultures, of course. But what of the culture that strives to encompass all others?
