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 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 planYou 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 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 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.
