this was in our local paper today thought I would share it with you ..................Some people are angry that Arizona wants to protect its borders and make it more difficult to sneak in here illegally and stay indefinitely.
Let me see if I correctly understand the thinking behind this.
Let’s say that I break into your house and when you discover me in your house, you insist that I leave. I say, “No, I like it here. It’s better than my house. I’ve made all the beds, washed the dishes, 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 that I broke into your house).”
According to the protesters: You are required to feed me. 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 and my family. My husband will do all your yard work because he is hard-working and honest, except for that breaking-in point.
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 for me!
I live in your house, contributing only a fraction 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.
Only in America!
