Do not let liberals make the trip:

And based upon that principle of planetary rights is the Prime Directive that "liberals" shall not interfere in the development of other planets.

And do not take the common cold, potatoes, kudzu, African bees, Japanese Beatles, or blankets with small pox...

The liberals will talk a good game, but if on the other planet Buffalo roam and they want cheap Buffalo they will contain the other planet's progress with Buffalo for Chicken Nuggets and call it "peace."

Yeah, a wall and a border patrol will protect us. {sound of laughter}
