it’s still good reading and makes some good points about this whole illegal invasion thing. (BTW, I refuse to call it illegal immigration or the people illegal immigrants. Immigration is the legal process of becoming a citizen. Sneaking in and stealing services and commerce is just an invasion).
Anyway, I read this on Boortz.com today and it is from a letter to the editor that’s going around right now and it makes some great points.
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.

I hope the President has the stones to tell President Fox of Mexico to stick his support of the invasion of our country up his ass. Further, I hope that Bush tells Fox that if anyone from his side of the border fires on American border patrols, they will be subject to severe retaliation.
Any bets on which way this is gonna go?
What say you?
