Good piece, some perspective. This whole mess is getting way out of hand. What's wrong with following the rules to be allowed to live here? Is that a bad thing? I don't understand...


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 thatthe 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 discoverme 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-workingand 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 yourhouse carrying signs that proclaim my RIGHT to be there.
It's only fair, after all, because you havea nicer house than I do, and I'm justtrying to better myself. I'm a hard-workingand honest, person, except for well,you know, I did break into your house.

And what a deal it is for me!!!

I live in your house, contributing only afraction of the cost of my keep, andthere is nothing you can do about it without being accused of cold,uncaring, selfish, prejudiced, and bigoted behavior.

Oh yeah, I DEMAND that 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). Share it if you see the value of it.

If not blow it off.........along with your future Social Security funds, and a lot of other things.
