Here is a copy of an e-mail that puts it into perspective.


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-w 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 hard-working and honest, um, 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, and I want you to learn my language so you can =
communicate with me
