Letter to the editor immigration

[satellite66]

I got this in an email and it said it was a letter to the editor in his local paper.

It explains things better than all the stuff you
hear on TV.

"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 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 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 anti-housebreaker.

Did I miss anything? Does this sound reasonable
to you?

If it does, grab a sign and go picket something.
If this sounds insane to you, call your senators and enlighten
them because they are stumbling in the darkness right now and
really need your help."

This Just In

Presidente Vincente Fox has announced that Mexico will not participate in the next Summer Olympics. Anyone who can run, jump, or swim has already left their country.
