No Treason

A friend of mine argues, “We should stop immigration, it’s already too much of a burden on the health and welfare systems!”. He continues, “If you are in a hole, stop digging!”

This made me think.

Isn’t being in a hole the inevitable outcome of digging?

I mean, if people didn’t want to be in a hole, why would they dig one?

Is the problem digging the hole, or digging it and being stuck in it?

Next time someone says, “When you’re in a hole, stop digging!”, you can tell them, “Maybe we should tell everyone with a shovel!”
