Every entity that perpetuates itself has a border and controls what crosses that border. Look to the natural world. Cells have membranes, or walls. Cells with comparatively weak borders allow viral infection and horizontal gene transfer; they are destroyed, or their essential nature is changed by outside influences. Cells with stronger borders maintain their essential nature, survive, and prosper. Conservatives like the idea of America, wish to conserve its essential nature, and that requires maintaining a strong border.

If the natural analogy doesn't appeal to you, consider any organization of which you are a voluntary member--professional organizations, etc. These organizations set the standards for who may join and who is excluded. You probably approve of this. Certainly no one is arguing for illegal enrollment into the bar, for instance. Why, then, do some support illegal immigration? I consider the community of Americans to be far nobler than the aforementioned organization, and I believe we should define the requirements for joining this community and enforce them.

I like your cell analogy.

Would you say she has pink blood? As she is full of Homoglobin?

How’s your brother, Keyser??
