Letter to the Editor

The following is from today's column from Neal Boortz.

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.
