Do you remember the story of the "Camel in the Tent"?
In the Arabian desert a nomad set up his tent to settle in for the night. His camel approached the tent door and said,
"Master, it is cold outside. Might I just put my nose in for a minute to warm it?"
The kind master agreed.
A little while passed when the camel said, "Master, forgive me for bothering you, but my neck is chilled...may I enter the tent just a bit more to warm myself?"
The kind master said yes.
Not much more time passed when the camel said, "Master, my shoulders and chest are also now cold. May I come in just a little more to warm myself?"
Again, the master agreed.
Then, shortly thereafter the camel said, "Master....My standing in the door is letting a lot of cold air in...allow me to enter so that the tent door will fall shut and we will both be warm."
The Master told his camel...."that is reasonable....come in and allow the door to close."
Then, the camel having achieved his desired goal found the tent to

be cramped....and thus he spoke to the master...
"It is crowded in here...and since I work hard and you need me...I think you should leave the tent so I can be comfortable"
And so the master was forced from his dwelling by his camel...whom he had shown much compassion.
Anything about this story remind you of the illegal situation?

This is the identical story of the cowbird (do a search under cowbird).
The female doesn't build a nest, rather she lays her egg in another bird's nest. The baby cowbird then grows up faster and bigger than the host bird's other babies. Eventually, the cowbird baby forces out of the nest the host bird's babies, and the host bird goes about feeding the baby cowbird until fully grown.
Like your story, does this apply at all to the way humans do things?
Perhaps there are similarities.
On a broader scale, the huge American deficits and the outrageous national debt cannot continue forever.
Something eventually must give.
It's very difficult to predict when and where. So far the gravy train is working like a charm.

good one
and for haunted fox: no decent human being is saying that the people who truly want to work so their family can have a better life should not be entitled to that, we just can't take in everyone from around the entire globe. if you had paused in your ranting to think for just a minute, don't you think it would be a lot easier for those who have a good heart and good intentions to immigrate if everyone else would stop thinking this was a good country to freeload off of? would it not be easier to get a visa, if so many others were not defrauding the system? i am sure their will be a new guest worker program in the future that allows this but you must give the country time to secure it's borders from everything we don't want here, such as terrorists and criminals, that give all other immigrants a bad name.
as for your bad feelings for hurricanes that hit a country or countries that are starving, i assure you the Guatemala is not the only country in the world that sees this devastation. it is sad, and we should help if we can. at the same time it is unrealistic to expect one country to be able to solve all other countries problems or disasters, and then tell it's citizens how awful they are because they can't fix everything.

thats a very interesting way of looking at it and yes we as Americans can relate compleatly. i say the master should have shot the camel and had a bbq . We were always tought to think of someone else before ourselfs , but its time to take care of ours only for awhile and get our country back where its supposed to be . During the depression America had taken to Mexico and built cannals gave away horses and burros and touhg village people how to farm , in attempt to never have a starving depression again for either country , the burros were set free , the cannals dried up and rotted away and mexico is pretty much today what it was . They could have been a thriving super power and the worlds bread basket , who do they have to blame really ?

Mimi good old school story, which should be taught universally to all ages.
One Sera, came back with the most realistic answer. Europeans did enter the mainland being deceptive, In today's world, the turmoil continues.

The point is well taken. We need to throw these parasites out once and for all. If all the pro immigration people want them here, let 'em stay in their tents!
