Illegal Immigration Statement.
 

This is completely unbelievable!!!

Just passing this along for others to read.

Thanks, but it would be really helpful if you also included some indication of where it came from.

Or am I correct in inferring from the end that it's one of those "pass-it-along" emails, meaning no one has any clue where it came from?

Oooh, you got it right.

Too bad it wasn't an immigration statement though...

/stupid immagrants

Da, I think I said it was a pass along !

Did anyone read that?

You may make a comment or not.

We are... and my comment is that I think it's stupid to post your inbox on GC. That said, I also think you have some lousy friends. Who passes that stuff on anyway.

I read it, and I thought it was a fairly weak analogy -- long on emotion and short on logic -- which is why I was curious about the source. Yes, you said you were "passing it along," but you didn't say from where -- one can pass along emails and one can pass along news stories and columns. I was curious if it came from someone who is usually worth paying attention to, in which case I might have given it a little more consideration (not much, but a little) or if it came from some "pass it along" email, which as a rule I ignore and delete.
