Let’s Say I Break Into Your House

Recently, large demonstrations have taken place across the country protesting the fact that Congress is finally addressing the issue of illegal immigration.
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 being cold, uncaring, selfish, prejudiced, and bigoted.
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.

Change. Really?

I don’t need to repeat all the quotes from Obama’s speeches on how he was going to change the process. I’m sure you have seen it on the news too many times already.

For those of you who really believed in his message, “can you hear me now?”  The real problem is that the brand of snake oil he fed you was too slippery to notice. Now, you are stuck with a dollar that might be enough to buy a pack of gum. Of course your company will give you  a raise to compensate for the loss of value in the dollar. Then, you  will be making over $250,000.00. Do you realize what that means? You’ll be subjected to the stupid taxes being imposed at a rate faster than a Ferrari on its way to 60 mph. 

Bottom line, “hope and change you can believe in” equals paying for all the free stuff you bought with your freedoms.

You will pay more taxes to pay for all the so-called free health care,

Your dollar will buy less because of all the spending he’s done on “free stuff”

You will have fewer decisions to make because some high paid government clerk will be making them for you.

Have a really nice time shoveling  the global warming  falling on  us today.
