Let's say I break into your house. 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).
Not only must you let me stay, you must add me to your family's insurance plan, educate my kids, share your retirement funds, and provide other benefits to me and my family. I live in your house, contribute 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 anti-housebreaker. Oh yeah, you can't use your guest room for anyone you'd like to invite.
If you try to call the police or force me out, I will call my friends to picket your house to proclaim my right to be there. It's only fair, because you have a nicer house than I do, and I'm honest, except for when I broke into your house.
