Dear Friends,
It seems to me, a host, no matter how healthy, can only tolerate a limited parasite load before his or her health declines to death. A tapeworm is tolerable while it is small, but once it gets too large, the host can no longer sustain it and themselves, so they both succumb to death. A small amount of scabies is not that bad, but it never stops at a small amount. The scabies mites will eventually turn a person’s skin into a quivering mass of insane itch. That is the problem with parasites of all kinds. They destroy their host and so need to find another. Ideally a very healthy host so it takes a long time to kill them. A parasite destroys while a symbiotic organism benefits. This is the difference between a parasite and symbiotic organism. This logic applies to all parasites, and symbiotic species… especially human ones.
When Italians came to the US through Ellis Island, they melded into our society, forming a symbiotic relationship with America. They didn’t demand free stuff, they produced, they introduced and they improved. They produced when they took jobs, that in many cases were below them, but they didn’t complain, they were happy to have the work. They introduced many goods and innovations to American society, like foods, stone carving techniques, and other knowledge they brought with them from Italy. There were bad apples, (parasites) the Mafia in the US, but anyone who knows history is aware that Italian Dons make up a small percentage of all organized crime. Italians were just one of the many peoples that came through Ellis Island… who established a symbiotic relationship with America.
An organism that helps the host in some way is symbiotic and one that damages the host is parasitic. You are made up of millions of bacteria that help you in a myriad of ways. Some help you digest food, others protect you from deadly pathogens, still others have a purpose scientists have yet to discern. Each of these organisms benefit the host such that it is in the hosts best interest to keep them around. In fact to encourage more beneficial organisms to move in and bestow other goods to the host. In this way both the host and the symbiotic organism win. Selfishness has it’s place, temporary though it is. The parasite is the definition of selfishness. Of course, the parasite destroys itself and it’s host by it’s lust, avarice and caprice. Nevertheless, it flourishes until it’s host succumbs.
Immigrants that take public assistance, commit fraud, engage in crime and seek to destroy our Constitutional system… are parasites in every definition of the word. They contribute nothing but chaos, add to the weight of human suffering and out procreate their hosts. Eventually the host nation will succumb and the result will be another mortally diseased country. Then the parasites will have to flee to another host nation, to drink it’s lifeblood until it too has fallen ill, and died. The advantage to the parasite is that it can flourish at the expense of it’s host. Obviously, allowing immigrants to illegally enter a country, immediately take public benefits and give them get out of jail free cards, is a very strong encouragement for parasitic, rather than symbiotic immigration.
The benefits or harm of immigration today, cannot be measured until tomorrow, when they are fully matured. We do know that allowing parasitic immigration will eventually destroy any nation, just like drinking ditch water in Mexico… will lead to life threatening diarrhea. What is the level of parasitic immigration versus symbiotic immigration? We can reliably tell, by looking at what percentage hop on the wagon, divided by how many help pull it. A sane society would have 100% pulling and 0% riding. In the US in 2012, immigrants took assistance at about 50%. That is a pretty heavy parasitic load, not even counting those who seek to destroy our Constitutional system of government, as well as our Judaeo Christian value system. Encouraging tape worms, scabies and malaria… how progressive!!
Sincerely,
John Pepin
