Let's Say I Break Into Your House...

>

>

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 U.S. might protect

its own borders, might make it harder to sneak into this country and, once

here, to stay indefinitely.

Let's see if we can 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, 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 husband will do your yard work because he too is 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 hard-working 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 also want you to learn my language so you can communicate with me.

Why can't people see how ridiculous this is?!

Only in America....
