Not to disparage anyone who is *not* ion America, but
as far as I know (correct me if I am wrong) this is an
issue we are facing here.

From a good friend of mine and worth a quick read:

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.

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, not only must you let me
stay, you must add me to your family's insurance plan,
educate my kids, and provide other benefits to me and
to my family (my husband will do your yard work
because he too is 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.

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 and being an
anti-housebreaker. Oh yeah, I want 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 as a good smile.
If not blow it off along with your future Social
Security funds, and a lot of other things.
