Food for thought, an opinion

[mustang-sally 8]

Illegal immigration isn't just rife in the USA. Here in England we get more than our fair share. Although I think a lot of cases should be taken individually on their own merit and I think that Europe opening its borders would/is the equivelent of the USA opening its borders with Central America, something I am highly against. I got an email a while ago that made me stop and think, I will share it with you.

A woman wrote the best 'Letter to the Editor' in ages.

She cuts to the chase and explains things better than all the rubbish you

hear on TV. Her letter said:-

Recently, large demonstrations have taken place across the country

protesting the fact that parliament is finally addressing the issue of

illegal immigration. Certain people are angry that the UK might actually

want to protect its own borders, might make it harder to sneak into this

country and once here, make it harder (as an illegal immigrant) to stay

indefinitely.

Let me see if I correctly understand the thinking behind these protests.

Let's say I break into your house. Then, 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 done 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 garden 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 illegal 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! English is too hard for me to learn. You should also allow me to vote

- in my own language - since I live in your house!

Why can't people see how ridiculous this is? Only in the UK.

If you agree, pass it on (in English). Share it if you see the value of it

as a good simile.

If not, delete it, along with your future.
