Mexicans....

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 your yard work and general maintenance.
Because he is also hard-working and honest, except for that
breaking into the country 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.(TEEHEE)

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...

Only in America!
Why can't people see how ridiculous this is?

That was very well thought out and written.
Most of what you see in life today does not make sense.
A lot of rules are made to help the underdog ( lazy and stupid / someone who doesn't belong) at our expense.
You can't help everyone all of the time, so why even try.
Trying to help one lot you end up taking from another lot and make their lives more difficult , HOW DOES THAT WORK!
The people that make our rules, should have the shit KICKED OUT OF THEM.
Then get some sensible poeple to make the rules that actually work for us, NOT AGAINST US!

Why not.

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.

When you break into my house you don't get a phone call.

My definition of a friend,


A friend will help you move. A real friend will help you move a body!!!

Immigration is needed for reasons of demographics and changes in the native work force, but the welfare state makes it unnecessarily costly. And as usual the Government is inefficient at ensuring the right numbers of the right skills get in. Take a moment to read this:
