Let’s say I break into your house.
[i]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: [/i]
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:
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 and 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 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.
[b][i]From time to time you read something like this and your in total agreement with the idea when looked at in a general sense but and this is a big but, we tend to let the focus slip when we view the matter in individual cases. We make exceptions, unaware that in making the exception we have opened the way for hundreds, if not thousands of other “exceptions”.
The law is the law and it must be applied across the board without exception and those endeavouring to circumvent the law should be penalized to the fullest extent under those laws, without any exceptions.[/i]
