Mitch tells me he almost got wiped out this morning while stopping to let a mother goose and her goslings cross the road, and he remarks that he's seeing far more geese around town than when he was a kid. This is obviously not just a Fort Wayne problem, or even an Indiana problem. One of the reasons for the proliferation of geese is that the bleeding-heart liberals want to coddle the fowl invaders. But the biggest problem, which no one wants to address, is our unsecured border with Canada. No one knows for sure how many of these illegal immigrants undocumented geese are here in America, but you can bet it's in the millions. They eat the food our own birds need, and they have no interest at all in assimilation, continuing to honk instead of chirping the way our American fine-feathered friends do.
The worst part is how all this breeds disrespect for the law. These Canada geese are cleverly using a loophole in U.S. law, which protects them under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. How many generations can they be in the same place before they are considered "natives" -- even if they are resident aliens -- rather than migrants?
