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?! Only in America .
if you agree, pass it on (in English).
Share it if you see the value of it.

If not blow it off.........
along with your future Social Security
funds, and a lot of other things.
 
While I agree this is getting a bit too political for the board. IMO
 
Wow! Did you come up with that on your own Jay? Pretty good analogy if you did. I did not agree with the government caving into the last protest. Sure, if they want to come here legally, learn our languages, so on and so forth. Then I am all for it.
But, this self righteous attitude is starting to irk me to no end.
Sure, they work hard and want to better themselves like anyone else...........Just like anything else though, there is a right way and a wrong way to go about it. The way it is done now is definitely wrong........And to be so smug about it.


Edited to say: Sorry if you do feel this is too political of a subject and, my opinion offends you.

Just FYI...it's there for a reason:

"General discussion about anything other than cigars. Please refrain from discussing politics and other "touchy" subjects, as they tend to cause flame wars. If you do choose to discuss politics, we reserve the right to suspend and/or ban your account. If you're a new member, please use the Intro Forum to introduce yourself, and not the lobby. "

Agreed.........Vehemently on the post, slightly on the "too political" only because it is one of the rules.


Edited for spelling..................I mis-spelled is

Well lets hope this gets counted as a I won't make this mistake again. And not (we reserve the right to suspend and/or ban your account)

I used to work with the Great Congressman Tom Tancredo, and I have to say enerjay...this post made my day. It nice seeing people who feel the same way about this all important issue, although the people who have stated this is too political have a point, I enjoyed the Post :)
