What good is a gate? (our immigration laws)

If you don't have a fence? (enforcement of the laws)

It’s as pointless as locking the doors on a convertible, while leaving the top down with the keys in the ignition.

Great idea, the metaphor thread. Here, let me try:


What good is a gate? (a person's mind)

If it is too narrow and always closed? (a bent mind)

We have many gates (border crossings) and we have a fence. What we don't have are the bouncers to remove the party crashers that feel entitled to the food and entertainment at the party.

There will always be people who won't pay the admission fee and try to sneak in the back door. These same people will always have an excuse why they should be allowed to crash the party and not be removed.

We're gonna need bigger bouncers.
