You just don't get it do you?
You don't (and no one else does either) know what negative effects an introduced species will have on native ones.
Crested wheat was thought to be a wonderful solution to erosion. Now try and get rid of it in the prairie landscape.
Purple loose strife looked so pretty for gardens. Trouble is, it has horrible impacts on wetlands because it's only predator is a little insect that lives in Europe. And no, we don't want it here.
Look at the damage feral horses are doing in the eastern slopes (there are whole threads on that).
Introduced species have unintended consequences.
