Unwelcome Visitors are Crossing My Borders

There are increasing numbers of unwelcome visitors crossing into my territory. They come uninvited without regard to our rules. They reap the benefits of the bounty intended for others without earning the privilege.

I promise you that putting up fences at my southern border will not deter this relentless influx. I've even tried shooting a few of them but still they come. I could set up a needlessly bureaucratic and inefficient process to document them but that would only invite lawlessness. I suppose it would be possible for me to document their presence in an efficient way and appreciate their value. Perhaps this would be the key to addressing the true root cause of an immigration issue.

Meanwhile, the unwelcome visitors pour into my territory. Darn those squirrels.
