Immigration Broken Down In simple terms..LOL

[99WS6]

A lady wrote the best letter in the Editorials in ages!! It explains things better than all the baloney 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 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, not only must you let me stay, you must add me to your family's insurance plan, educate my kids, 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 an anti-housebreaker.

Oh yeah, and I want 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).

If not, blow it off along with your future Social Security funds!

Let's get this back on track! This is a great post. It really is that simple either we inforce the law or we don't. I don't really care who comes over here as long as they go about it the right way and learn the language. Don't come over here and wave your flag in my face and tell me you have so many problems with a country that you have sneeked into for a better life and then want to talk bad about the people who made the country what it it.

Well, if we want to get all serious n' shit........


Let us first assume that the Govn't is serious about closing the borders. There are a few things that must be addressed, or any attempt WILL fail.

1. Lock down the borders. I mean you need to get serious with it. Nobody gets in. Period. Only after you have completely secured the borders can you move to step 2.

2. You need to decide what to do with the illegal people living here already. This is not an easy task, as some have been here 10-20+ years. They have children born here, etc. This is the hardest step.

3. Stop having different rules for achieving citizenship depending on what country you came from. We want secure borders, but we will take in anyone from a country where they are in turmoil. No.

4. If you live here, you must become a citizen within a certain amount of time. Period. Or you are gone.

5. The process to become a citizen must be updated and changed. The process is just stupid. I have been able to see this first hand, and I get pissed just thinking of all the stupid shit one has to do.


If the govn't is serious about illegal immagration, I feel that the items above, at the very least, must be done.
