I got this from a friend in an email chain, I don't forward these on but I thought I would post it here.. and I've tried to keep all the colorful formatting it came with, but I couldn't copy the funny clipart...
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 & 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 .
if you agree, pass it on (in English).
Share it if you see the value of it.
If not blow it off......... along with your future Social Security funds, and a lot of other things.

Are you a Native American? If so, you should ask us white folks to leave, and take the African Americans we brought as slaves with us.
If you're not Native American and you're an American, then you're a hypocrite. We invaded a house too.
The ancestors of Native Americans "invaded" North America too. There was just no one else here to complain about it.
Some native Americans welcomed the settlers, lived peacefully with them, and even "sold" them some land.
Other Native Americans fought, but they lost. If the Native Americans had the ability to defend their borders (assuming they even had a concept of land borders), then the USA wouldn't exist as it does today.
Likewise, if the USA doesn't defend our boarders, then the future will be different than if we do. I for one want us to defend our boarder and to allow, but control, immigration.
I seriously doubt that you are so "open" with your house as you seem to want to be with our boarders. Do you just disagree that there should be boarders? and if so, do you put a lock on your front door?
michael is exactly right. There really is no native group to america. Also, at that time there was plenty of area for people to come, and it was not an established nation. Immigration now, is completely different than it was back than
Did the Native Americans have to provide the invading Europeans with benefits?
Your White guilt for things modern people didn't do should not be allowed to unmake the nation.
