Vera's blog: "Interesting"

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 Arizona

Is 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, I DEMAND that you 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.
