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, 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 a hard-working and honest,
person, 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, I want you to learn my language so you can
communicate with me.
Why can't people see how ridiculous this is?
If you can’t blow it off along with your future Social
Security funds.
