True or not?

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, "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
< /B>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, I DEMAND that 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.

If not blow it off....
along with your future Social Security
funds, and a lot of other things.

Thank You so very much in keeping tabs on me and what I do!

Have I been on SK thread lately and wonder why you intimated things about me?

No, do not think so!

So you actually think I'm spying on you and that's how I knew that this was a copy/paste?

Yeah, I'm totally keeping tabs on you.

I appreciate this, but I'm going to let Chuck handle this. No amount of blessings will help this poor man.

Interesting no one seems to want to talk about the substance of the message.

Does it reflect your opinion or not?

DUH.

Put the message in a shorter, nonemail forward format, and people may give a damn enough to read and reflect on it.

Okay, I'll bite...it does not reflect my opinion. Breaking into someone's house (their individual, OWNED property) is not the same as coming into a "free" country (which no one owns, and which many of our ancestors - except the Native American Indians and Mexican Indians - immigrated to).

Yes, my ancestors came to this country from England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Norway - LEGALLY. Some actually went to Ellis Island and had to pass "inspection" before being allowed in. I've got nothing against immigration - I just want it done according to the law. How's that for on-topic?

But the hijack is more fun. The Pope is back!

So, if everyone dislikes the long post, why quote it in its entirity over and over?

Just wondering.

While the cut and paste may be too long, if it's something that came to a mailbox, you can't leave a link to it, right?

Or does everyone object to the subject, too?

Seems like some would like to discuss it.
