Immigration Analogy
Invite Everyone
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
hardworking and honest (except for when I broke into your house)."
According to the protesters, not only must you let me stay, you
must add me to your family's insurance plan and provide other
benefits to me and to my family (my husband will do your yard work
because he too is hardworking 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 hardworking and honest ... um, except for ... well, you know.
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 selfishness,
prejudice, racist and being anti-housebreaker.
Did I miss
anything? Does this sound reasonable to you? If it does, grab a sign
and go picket something. If this sounds insane to you, call your
senators and enlighten them because they are stumbling in the
darkness right now and really need your help."

Oh, and by the way...
Nancy Pelosi (and other politicians) want
illegals in our country. But not in her neighborhood, schools,
stores or sneaking through her yard at night, That's for other
people.
