Let's say I break into your house.
A lady wrote the best letter in the Editorials in ages!!!
It explains things better than all the baloney you hear
on TV.
Her point:
Recently large demonstrations have taken place across the country protesting the fact
that Congress is finally addressing the issue of illegal immigration.
Certain people are angry that the US might protect its own borders, might make it harder
to sneak into this country and, once here, to stay indefinitely.
Let me see if I correctly understand the thinking behind these protests.
Let's say I break into your house. Let's say that when you discover me in your house, you insist that I leave
But I say,
'I've made all the beds and washed the dishes and did
the laundry and swept the floors. I've done all the things you don't like to do.
I'm hardworking and honest (except for when I broke into your house.)
According
to the protesters: You are required to let me stay in your house You
are required to add me to your family's insurance plan you are required to
educate my kids. You are required to provide other benefits to me & to my family(my husband will do all of your yard work because he is also hardworking and honest, except for that breaking in part).
If you try to call the police or force me out, I will call my friends who will
picket your house carrying signs that proclaim my RIGHT to be there.
It's only fair, after all, because you have a nicer house than I do, and I'm just
trying to better myself. I'm a hardworking and honest, person, except for well,
you know, I did break into your house.
And oh yeah, I get a free education, where you have to pay your own way through
college.(TEEHEE) And what a deal it is for me!!!
I live in your house, contributing only a fraction of the cost of my keep, and there is nothing you can do about it without being accused of cold, uncaring, selfish, prejudiced, and bigoted behavior.
Oh yeah, I DEMAND that you learn MY LANGUAGE!!! so
you can communicate with me. And don't forget to make sure your forms are in MY
language - I need to understand them...
Why can't people see how ridiculous this is?! Only in America.
