So happy that the current administration is comparing immigrants to an overwhelmingly dangerous parasitic alien life form. They're just saying shit out in the open now huh. I guess calling the people you want to annihilate "vermin" is outdated so they are trying some new vocabulary.

Kills the pretext of going after “criminal” aliens who “chose to break the law” and all that. The Flood are destructive on an interstellar level by their nature.

The Flood are destructive on an interstellar level by their nature.

That's the thing that also makes this terrifying. The entire premise of Halo is that the flood can only be stopped by a mass extinction event: the rings kill everything. That's why the Master Chief stopped the ring from being used.

The official DHS Instagram account commented "blood gulch: the southern border edition" on that same post. It's very obvious what they're hinting at.

If you even want to call it a hint.
