It is an extremely poor metaphor for modern America
I think it is for the bird brains among us.
We are one of the lowest taxed peoples in the world, and that is why our health and education services are so poor. True, the tax burden is not well spread across all income groups, but that is another problem.
Immigration has made this country the wonderful place it is. So many Americans have narrow, insulated, ignorant views like this that we need immigration to freshen up our gene pool and bring enlightened views to the country.
Also we are not a particularly generous country to poor people from other lands, as we used to be. It is not easy to get the necessary approvals to come and live in this country. Nor should it be, because we need to keep out those who are criminals, terrorists etc.
However, we should welcome people who will help to make America even greater than it is today.
