This is where the analogy breaks down.
The ants are not to blame because they are instinct-driven insects.
The people from Central America who are coming here are not ants; they have free will and make choices. They are to blame for willfully breaking our laws. They know what they're doing. They are not refugees coming from violent certain death, as some Democrats have suggested.
Yes, they are pawns in a movement that was pre-planned six months ago between Obama and his like-minded counterparts in other countries, but they are definetly not blameless.

If we are no better, then why are there not equal numbers trying to move in each direction?
When you bring up such a concept, and facts or logic do not support the conclusion, it might be better to take a more truthful approach, such as this — we want to invade your country and take it over. Then see how many people support “immigration reform” or whatever this invasion is conveniently called.

“The ants are not to blame because they are instinct-driven insects.”
And most of the people coming here are needs-driven and if you were one of them in their situation and knew that you could go up north and get in and face no consequences other than positive ones, I’d venture to guess you would join them.
“They are to blame for willfully breaking our laws.”
What laws? The ones that Obama and the rest of our corrupt “government” willfully refuse to enforce? If we don’t enforce them why should they have any respect for our laws? We don’t even know what laws apply and don’t apply - they change everyday on a whim.
Remember this reality “You only own what you are willing and able to defend, by whatever means you have at your disposal”
What I’m suggesting with my post is that we need to focus our anger much more at our corrupt politician, bureaucrats and judges than the illegals. They’re just a symptom of the corruption.
