what do you guys think about this? (imigration stuff) - GoFuckYourself.com

A lady wrote the best letter in the Editorials in ages!! It explains things better than all the stuff you hear on TV.
--------

"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 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, not only must you let me stay, you must add me to your family's insurance plan and provide other benefits to me and to my family (my husband will do your yard work because he too is 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 hard-working and honest ... um, except for ... well, you know.

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 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."

Americas great because it allows people to escape to a place where they can reclaim their lives and seek opportunities that weren't present in their home lands. That aside it's gotten out of hand and something needs to be done because americans (uh, the real ones) are becoming the minority. I'm all for anyone coming and staying. They can take whatever jobs they like or start their own. But as the article says don't break into my house to do it.

If you want to come then come but don't sneek here. Maybe if the government did something instead of putting your name in a database of hopefuls and raffles and acutally processed them within 6-12 months we wouldn't have this problem.

Then again.. america isn't that great when it comes right down too it. I can think of of atleast five other places I'd love to escape too.

Nice post.

Who cares to tell you the turth , if they were here legally making 10 buck a hour with 4 kids they arent paying any taxes anyway. If people just focused on themselves the world would be a happier place.

That is so tree-huggin-hippe-loving-cantwealljusthug bullshit.

Fuck em. There are rules. Abide by them, and welcome to a better life. Otherwise, stay the fuck out.

I think it's a simpleton's attempt at analogy, nothing more.

Dont give them jobs and they wont come - however Americans give them jobs and then sit back and bitch about the results. Ever feed a cat that meows at you back door?

notabook · 06-09-2006, 09:47 PM

The only solution to the immigration problem is to sit back and shut the fuck up. Hey, it worked for Nixon and it'll work for now!

AmateurFlix · 06-09-2006, 09:51 PM

round 'em up and send them back where they came from.

or better yet make them help build that wall along the border before they are deported.
