I can't beleive this one....
I just wanted to share this.
I sent a little analogy of what illegal immigration is like to my church elder, he's a friend. He forwarded it to the whole church and now he's in big trouble. I don't get it. Here's the email he sent:
Quote:
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: You are required to let me stay in your house. 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.
All the immigrants I talked to say they find nothing offensive in this. But we have a Spanish speaking church in our churches basement and they are all offended.
What I say is, if your not doing those things in the letter, then it's not talking about you and you have no reason to be offended. If you are doing the things in the letter then you have no right to be offended because it's true and what your doing is wrong.
