Let's say I break into your house   
   
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 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, '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, 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.
