I said the same thing a few years ago, when Canada began letting others in willy-nilly, who have no belief in, nor respect for, our language(s), traditions, and values. "Let them in!" our people cried (well, the lefties, anyway). But very few, if any, volunteered to take these wonderful newcomers into their own homes. Soon, there were no available hotel rooms, much more difficulty for Canadians to find jobs, and a housing crisis.

Usually an invasive species doesn't just replace another species in a niche. Usually they have many more side effects; one example they mentioned here is that grey squirrels destroy trees, while the red ones don't. If you look at it from the perspective of "survival of the fittest", well, who really cares: animals and humans alike invade and take over other lands. The biggest problem, of course, is when the interests of invasive species compete with human economic interests, such as the wild hogs in the US, Canada, and Australia destroying vast amounts of farmland, or zebra mussels clogging water and sewage systems in the Great Lakes, or the possible spread of disease. And often the invaders are just rougher and nastier, or simply less pleasant, than the local species, like fire ants and killer bees, or even crows displacing pretty, pleasant-sounding songbirds.
