LET'S SAY I BREAK INTO YOUR HOUSE..

A lady wrote the best letter in  the Editorials (obviously not the NT) 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-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 a hard-working and honest, person,
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, I want you to learn my language so you  can
communicate with me.
