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.

Her point:

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:
You are Required to let me stay in your house
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 to my family (my husband will do all of your yard work because he is also 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, I did break into your house.

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 cold, uncaring, selfish, prejudiced, and bigoted behavior.
Oh yeah, I DEMAND that you to learn MY LANGUAGE!!!
so you can communicate with me.

Why can't people see how ridiculous this is?! Only in America .....

I think a lot of the American people see this. It’s the politicos on the left and the right who have their own reasons for avoiding action on this issue.
 
Not sure I would compare it to "breaking into my house", but I see the point. I also agree with Rim Runner...politicians make the laws, not us. All I can do is send letters and emails and that has very little impact on it.

Were they invited? Did they enter with permission? Did they use the door?

If the answer is "no" to thoses questions, then you need a better security system on your "house".

Your individual letter or e-mail may not have a large effect, but combined with other people's it's about the only thing that does have an effect. It works, not always well or quickly, but it does work.

Is your house on the border? Is your front door a gate and walls a fence? Do you have an armed gaurd at your front door? Is your bed outside? Is your house the size of a country?

Best question yet, are they actually breaking into your house? Your home is a very private thing and if someone is breaking into it, they are looking to steal your private property or kill you. Have the immigrants stolen private property? Have they killed you? If this were the case, then, shouldn't the Native Americans be able to kick the caucasions out?

This is like saying "They're stealing our jobs" Well, stop your whining, get an education, find a job that an immagrant would not be qualified for. There is absolutely no risk for my wife and I to lose our jobs to immigrants, nor will they ever.

When was the last time you all tried doing something about the problems too? I bet 99% of the people here who complain about it do not try being part of the solution atleast a quarter more of the time they spend complaining.

Here, if you want to do something about it, here is the place to research it.

Oh, lets see. I think it was about two hours before I read this that I talked to two of my legislators about the "problem".

Break into my house and you may go out in a bag.
 
It's been reported that we average 25 Americans killed by illegal aliens each & every day. Approximately a 50/50 split between murders & traffic accisents, mostly drunk illegals.

Now, my math says that totals 9125 Americans each year. That is an annual total of us being killed by illegals more than 3 times the total of the 9-11 attacks.

Maybe you don't think that's a problem, but I do.

Are you directing this to me? If so, then why? I own a gun, I too would shoot someone breaking into my home. What does this have to do with the conversation?

We'll Goldie Locks I'm afraid you made your last and most fatal error if you break into my house and I catch you there.


Again, is this directed at me? Why do you assume I would breka into your house? What does this have to do with anything in this thread? Are you saying you go down to the border and shoot immigrants as they cross the border? If not, then you have no point with your post.

AgJobs. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif What percentage of the illegal aliens do you think are coming here for jobs as crop pickers? 10%? 15%? Restaurant workers, kitchen help, custodians, day laborers, slaughterhouse workers, motel/hotel help, anything that doesn't require an education. What percentage of the illegal aliens are taking those jobs? 30%? 40%?

But that only accounts for about half of the illegal aliens breaking into our "house". What are the other 50% of the illegal aliens doing in our country? Well, about 15% of them are criminals, associated with the Mexican Mafia and MS-13. (http://www.theconservativevoice.com/article/21931.html). Another 5% are running from the Mexican law, or are petty thieves looking for greener pastures to pillage. And the remainder? The rest are here just to feed at the welfare trough.

We don't need any of them!

It's directed at you if you have any intention of breaking into my home and endangering my family which is a given.

Maybe you haven't noticed but our prisons are filling up with Illegal aliens not because they are all nice hard working people. This isn't a question of imigration it's a question of Illegal criminal aliens.

Yes the answer to your question is I'd shoot them coming across much cheaper than a fence. Also more effective.

All blustering aside, I think the "illegal" situation is just a little bit differant in York PA., than it is here in Arizona or Texas. It is a DAILY occurance that an illegal in involved in an automobile accident with no car insuarance, steals a car or truck (usually a truck), committs a felonious act, visits one of our Emergency rooms for free medical care, is arrested for SERIOUS drug possession, (I'm talking upwards of 500 pounds of marihuana), and the list goes on. Yes we have some that want to "make an honest living", but in the mean time, we're footing their medical bills, learning their languages, paying more for our own car insurance, etc.

The point of the letter is simple! They are here ILLEGALLY!!! Why are we making such HUGE concessions to people who are basically stealing from us and STRAINING our economic system!

If one cannot understand the analogy, then that person is either pretty thick upstairs, or just isn't very familiar with the day to day activities of beloved ILLEGAL entrants.

Quite frankly, this smells a bit of "pot stirring"...
 
I have no problem with immigration. I have a big problem with illegal immigration. Yes, many people come here (legally and illegally) to work, and work very hard. I know because I've had them working for me. My experience as an employer was that legal immigrants worked just as hard as illegals.

Many also come here for illegal purposes beyond illegal entry, either violent criminals or (we suspect) terrorists. In some areas more than %50 of the violent prison population is illegals. You and I pay for their incarceration.

We need to control our borders NOW!! After we've done that we can have a debate about what to do with the illegals that are here.
 
I have a problem with immigration, whether legal or illegal. The legal quota (if there is one) is way too high. I believe Roy Beck is right, if legal immigration is going to break us, illegal immigration will bury us. My 2 cents.
 
I agree with you guys that are taking a hard stance against illegal immigration. Personally, I see absolutely nothing wrong with defending our borders with lethal force. And yes I would defend my own personal property/family with lethal force as well, I wouldn't think twice.

There are only two things that I swore I'd defend even if it meant my own life........my family and my country, attack either and you are taking your life into your own hands, that's just the way it ought to be.

At one point in time, many years ago now unfortunately, I probably would have swore to defend the American "way of life" with my own life.......but lately I'm not so sure. It saddens me to see our great country in the state of affair that it is in. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
