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.
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
hard-working 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 hard-working 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 hard-working 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
!
