Invasive species/open borders
What happens to our ecosystems when invasive species invade our
environment? They spread rapidly and cause significant harm. They outcompete native species for resources, alter habitats, spread diseases, or disrupt food chains, leading to biodiversity loss and ecosystem instability. Impacts are seen worldwide.
The Burmese python is destroying the ecosystem of the Florida Everglades.
Kudzu from Asia is rapidly smothering trees, buildings, and native vegetation and killing hosts.
Water Hyacinth, native to South America, is one of the world’s most invasive’s, forming a mat on waterways that blocks light, deoxygenates water, and harms aquatic life.
Cheatgrass, which fuels intense wildfires in western US grasslands, and Lantana, toxic and invasive in many tropical regions.
Zebra mussels from Eurasia have infested North American waterways (Great Lakes), causing billions in damage.
Cane Toad, introduced to Australia from South America for pest control, their a toxin that kills predators,
devastating native wildlife like snakes.
Emerald Ash Borer, an Asian tree beetle killing millions of Ash trees in North America.
Other examples are Carp, Lion Fish, feral pigs, and European starlings.
Globally, invasives contribute to extinctions and billions in annual losses.
What is and has been happening in America and Europe is an explosion of invasive foreign human immigration that does not assimilate with the population and changes the landscape, bringing their culture, which doesn’t align with their new Country, causing great financial harm, crime, health, and other socioeconomic problems.
Other immigrants bring their culture and are reluctant to assimilate and become dependent on welfare and cheating the system…think Somalia’s 100,000 in Minnesota and the millions and millions of Muslims inhabiting Europe. It’s past time to close the borders.
