The Governor welcomed Tyreese’s group of three into Woodbury.

I thought it was Daryl, not Rick, but either way the line was “No, they’re shooting at our feet.”

You lure them in one at a time and kill them or assimilate them. Maybe they’re clearing the neighborhood of people as a defense strategy. Perhaps the ones that come in alone get to survive, but the ones that arrive in groups are herded into the containers and used as food, or perhaps released individually and forced to eat human meat to separate them psychologically from the others so they can be assimilated instead of killed.

Clever.
