"If you drop a frog in boiling water (or so I've been told), it immediately jumps out. However, if you put a frog in a pot of room-temperature water and then bring the water to a boil very, very slowly, the frog will supposedly stay in the water until it dies."

"It's an odd experiment, but it's an apt metaphor for how people sometimes deal with slowly deteriorating situations."

This is a perfect metaphor on so many citzens and the subject of illegals.
