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, 'No! I like it here. It's better than my house. 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 feed me
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 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.
Why can't people see how ridiculous
this is?!
@Freeman15,
that is beautiful, and needs to be read by everyone in America.
@Curmudgeon,
I'm all for immigrants coming here
legally.
That lady has it all right, though, as far as illegal immigrants are concerned.
I especially love this part:

Because they are willing to die to get here, does that mean they should be allowed?

Don't you mean "illegal" immigrants are dying to get here, LOL.
@DurtySanches,
I have read this letter before and I agree with her statement.
@Curmudgeon,
Curmie, please take note of the fact I'm getting 'better'. Yes....I haven't posted here, and I'm not maliciously attacking people. See -- there's hope, after all.
