Let's say I break into your house

[peterd]

A lady wrote the best letter in the Editorials
In ages!!! It explains things better than all
The baloney you hear on TV.

Her point:

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 oh yeah, I get a free education, where you
Have to pay your own way through college. (TEE HEE)< /B>

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 learn
MY LANGUAGE!!! So you can communicate with me.And don't forget to
Make sure your forms are in MY language - I need to understand them...

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.

"Let's say I break into your house"

Break into my house uninvited and you risk either going to prison or home (in a box.) Control of the borders should mean coming across uninvited earns you a prison cell, not access to our already overloaded government programs.

With four German Shepherds, I don't think they have a chance making it. What the dog don't get, my 357 will. I am just don't get it. Extreme liberal elements think that it is OK for anyone to come here. They don't understand that if you break the law, you must suffer consequencies. This is a simple math. I came to this country as a immigrant. I stood in the line 11 month to get permission to enter the US. I came and got drafted. For some it may be extreme, but my personal believe is that your new home needs protection and if you are capable, step up to the platte. There was not push button saying press 2 or 3 for foreign language. After two years in the military I earned my citizenship. Again, I had to take a test in English, not in German, Russian, Spanish, Chinese, etc. Drivers license was in English. Paperwork for citizenship was in English. There was no demanding on my part. I wanted to earn and pay my way and I made it. So can they. Anybody who comes here illegally and demands citizenship and insist that spanish should be used needs to be thrown out immediately. The same goes for their liberal supporters. Personally, I would take all illegals and bus them back accross the border and would gladly pay for the gas.

Good for you Pete, and that is something the libtards just don't seem to understand, amnesty is a slap in the face to all immigrants who came here the right way and all those who are standing in line the legal way trying to earn their citizenship. I have many friends who immigrated here legally from south and far east of the border, and they are just as irritated as you are about illegals getting to cut into line. This isn't a race issue, shoot, if my parents pass on and so do I and my husband, we have left my kids to a friend whose husband is a legal immigrant because they are the only other people I would trust to raise my kids w/values and morals like my own, I love my sisters but wouldn't trust them to raise my dog let alone my kids.

[peterd]

Illegal immigration cannot be a race issue, because illegals are coming in in all colors and nationalities. I am not sure where these liberals are getting their information, possibly from the old odd house, deep down.
I can tell you that there were no liberal ideas in my house. There are three groups of people who can destroy any country, fascists, communists, and liberals.

[AmericanPride]

If the analogy is correct, then...

"Illegals" didn't break into the house. Rather, the banker that owns your mortgage gave them a key because you won't make your bed, wash your dishes, or sweep the floors. Oh -- and because you're about to default on your loan because the weak dollar means your utility, fuel, and grocery bills are through the roof.

[peterd]

AP, so based on comments, you would rather have illegal immigrants do everything for you. As for house duties, if you cannot accomplish them, hire U.S. person or somebody who is legally here. Make sure that you pay them good wages. When comes to economy, yes, price are high, however that does not anything to do with illegal immigration. It is just your excuse to complain. Learn to distiquish between necesities and luxuries, money and time management. If you have a problem with US, try other countries. If you do, I hope that you find your happiness.

It doesn't make a difference to me if they're "illegal" or not if they can do the work. In fact -- I would prefer "illegals" because it would have a smaller impact on my wallet and I could avoid the bureaucracy and paperwork involved with employing a citizen. It's still a free market, right?

If you have a problem with US, try other countries.

If I have "a problem" with America -- I'll make attempts to change it. That's the American spirit. Or is that not something you learned in your citizenship classes?

[peterd]

AP, you answers just explained everything. You rather violate the law on illegal immigration to save a buck. That is not an American spirit. American Spirit starts at home.

In my citizenship classes I learned to respect a law and to serve my country. I served almost 21 years in the military to protect your freedom of speech, so you can tell us veterans and those who serve today how we suck. Enjoy your freedom and protect your illegal immigration, remember we paid for it.

The law does not exist for its own sake. It exists to serve the people. It's not serving anyone.

According to your logic, I am currently serving in order to protect my opinion that I suck? What?

[peterd]

Disagreement with a person does not necessarily means they suck.

Bounce, I agree with the exception that they not be put in prison rather they should be warehoused in hard labor work camps.

Follow the Sheriff Joe Arpaio example. Tent cities, basic bland diet, no frivolities and regimentation until they get shoved onto a bus for the trip south.
