A Great Analogy

[reconeil]

Friends,
Here's a great email sent me by my old 10th Recon Co recruit buddy from Tennessee, and now retired Lt. Col., Frank.

Subject: Ok, I broke into your house


This really lays it out where any one can understand the problem!!!!



An interesting way to look at this

Ok, I broke into your house - so what?

A lady wrote and sent the following letter to the Editor of her local
newspaper. She should be asked to moderate the discussion on the
question of Immigration How would the networks react? She is more
rational than all the "talking heads" on network TV and probably more
than half of our Congress

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, 'No! I like it here. It's better than my house. 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 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 & 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, and I DEMAND that you learn MY LANGUAGE!!! so that you can
communicate with me.

Why can't people see how ridiculous this is?!

America is populated and governed by idiots.

If you agree, pass it on (in English). If not blow it off.........
along with your future Social Security funds and a lot of the former
benefits of being an American Citizen.

Boats,
Do you think this is a good analogy?
