Subject: Hmm...Let's say I break into your house.....
Let's say I break into your house.
This 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 hardworking and honest
(except for when I broke into your house).
According to the protesters, not only must you let me
stay, you must add me to your family's insurance plan,
educate my kids, and provide other benefits to me and to
my family (my spouse will do your yard work because he too
is 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
hardworking and honest, um, except for well,
you know.
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 selfishness, prejudice and being an anti-housebreaker.
Oh yeah, and I want you to learn my language so you can
communicate with me.
Why can't people see how ridiculous this is?!
Only in America....
if you agree, pass it on (in English).
If not, blow it off along with your future
Social Security funds.
