Illegal Immigrants are criminals

To the Editor:
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 home 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 that part where I broke into your house.

"According to the protestors, not only must you let me stay, you must add me to your family's insurance plan and provide other benefits for me and my family. My husband will do your yard work because he too is hard-working and honest ... except for that breaking in thing.

"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 here. 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 hard-working and honest .... ummmmm .... except for that breaking in thing.

"Besides. 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 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.

I found this letter on Boortz' website. Thought it was provocative and on point.
What are your thoughts?

People that exceed the speed limit are criminals too.

Something to think about the next time someone wants to hang titles arbitrarily on someone.

What does the speed limit have to do with people freely free-loading off of our country? I don't think it is arbitrarily hanging titles on anyone, think it is merely stating facts.

this hits the nail right on the head. When we are not taking care of our own huddled and muddled masses, why the dickens should we take in these freeloaders. Shoot, many US citizens might consider working for less money per hour if we were being subsidized, free health care, no income tax, etc. I agree with the post from a while back - we'll spread our own pinestraw. Read an article this morning regarding the wisdom of National Guard units being sent to man the border; seems like a good idea.
