From an email that I received:
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 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 to learn MY LANGUAGE!!! so you can
communicate with me.
Why can't people see how ridiculous this is?!
yeah! so lets crack down on the employers who entice (and in some cases assist) these people into our country, and make it NOT PROFITABLE TO HIRE ILLEGALS!
as soon as that is done, the problem goes away. period.
