"Let's Say I Break into Your House..." The Email

I am going to post in this section an email that was sent to me. I just want to have it up here for a while so you can have a chance to skim over it. My response to what is being said will be the post that follows this one.

Here's the email:


Let's say I break into your house...

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, 'No! I like it here. It's better than my house. 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 feed me
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, and I DEMAND that you learn MY LANGUAGE so that you can
communicate with me.

Why can't people see how ridiculous this is?! America is governed by
idiots, and populated by apathetic individuals.

If you agree, pass it on.

If not, blow it off......... along with your future Social Security
funds and a lot of the former benefits of being an American Citizen.
