Illegals are like a plague of locusts, consuming and destroying everything before them.
Imagine living in a place like Westport, Connecticut, famous for fishing and shellfish. You respect your community, so you follow the rules because you don’t want to destroy something everybody shares.
You buy your permit, obey the limits, wait until the beds are open, and only harvest during legal hours. And of course, you leave enough behind so there will still be clams and mussels tomorrow. That’s how a prosperous community thrives and grows, right?
But imagine you do all that, for your community and the local environment, and then you look out across the water at night and watch a bunch of illegals ignore every one of those rules and disrespect your entire culture and community. Would you be furious?
