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 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.

i DON'T GIVE A DAMN... THE WHOLE WORLD IS TOO F**KED UP TO BOTHER ABOUT IMMIGRATION IN AMERICA. YOU EVER WONDER WHAT'S HAPPENING IN DARFUR RIGHT NOW, INSTEAD OF COMPLAINING ABOUT THOSE MEXICANS???
replyI don't live in Darfur. People come to America to get the benifits of here and to become a U.S. citizen. NOT a drain on the society but to ADD to the society.If everyone spoke English [at least in public] we would not feel so separated from each other.
replyAnd that dear people is exactly the point. You are supposed to come here to CONTRIBUTE to society and to ADD to the country...not take take take. As for Darfur - what aid goes there does not go to the people. Find a way for that to be so and I will send money myself. Meanwhile, I would like a way to make things equitable for people in my own backyard.
