Does anyone have the right to make this claim?

Question

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.

Wow, those who support Illegal immigration dismiss this as old and therefore irrelevant.

Yet they don't answer the question!!

Your silence is deafening.

So you fail to understand the level of violation Americans feel due to illegal immigration.

The argument that illegal immigrants are escaping horrid conditions doesn't wash with me. In case they aren't familiar with the depression in the US, my parents were as poor as any immigrant to the US now. They worked to make their home country, America, great. And America has always had the most generous legal immigration laws in the world. Still does. But America, like every country, has the right and duty to remain sovereign, just as the a person has the right to decide who is in his home, and the duty to protect those who rightfully occupy it from those who do not.

Answer 1

WELL SAID.

Answer 2

It is evident that you are attempting an analogy with illegal immigration. But it is flawed: your house is your personal space, and you have the right to admit or exclude who you will. But the wetbacks are not invading anybody's personal space: they are illegal only because the law says they are. As a practical matter, trying to find and evict the perhaps 12 million people who are here unlawfully simply cannot be done. It makes much more sense to provide some sort of path to legality, which can be more difficult and expensive than a path for those who are here lawfully.

Answer 3

The fault in your analogy is that the government knows the person broke into the house, and they choose not to enforce the laws and eject the person. What's more, the government is also unwilling to spend the money to prevent future break-ins because the homeowner/taxpayer is unwilling to pay for the security to prevent it.

If you don't put the intruder out, or try to prevent them from coming back, you demonstrate you really don't care.

Answer 4

What your proposing as the same thing as illegal entry is way off base Your home a private dwelling They are not coming in to your homes just the country. Maybe for small minds it's the same and it must be that there many small minds because this has been posted over and over. It still is not the same. Your minimizing what they do to get here and the troubles they are escaping. Nice try though. Try to come up with a fresh one next time.

Answer 5

i'd help you make ur house as nice as mine. Id have no problem with you staying with me or any of what you mentioned, at all. I would just ask that next time, there not be such a mess but at least u cleaned up right? (People are constantly cleaning up their own dead people at those borders)

With out u here id be screwed.
Its already happening. They're making the borders harder to cross, when we had this drought and then tons of rain all the crops ripened at the same time n since the borders were so hard to cross there wasnt enough people to harvest so all our produce prices went up. Do you honestly think thats the end of it? Its not.

But i have to ask you one thing, whats the reference to the guest room? That part i dont get. Please enlighten me: [e-mail]

Answer 6

rhsaunder is right, we should make another way for mexicans (sorry "trespassers") to become citizens. My idea is to make our border with mexico a mine field and if they make it let 'em be citizens. yeah its not their fault they weren't born here but maybe if they would stop ruining our country and try to fix their own they could become equal to the U.S. after all they say they're hard workers but the way I see it, they have been here longer than us and we have the better country. We worked hard to make get where we are so why do they think they deserve what we have, they should blame their ancestors not us.

Answer 7

This is old. Try something in your own words.
And hey that has happened before. Someone took over someones home, forced themselves in and guess what! IT was not no Mexican TRY a white American .. So lay it to rest!

Answer 8

My illegal friend called me a jerk because it wasn't his fault he was born in Peru...he said that I can just sit back and enjoy this country while he does everything for me. So i let him stay with me he didn't get a job for three months and I kicked him out..now all my Latino neighbors hat me..what a crock...he didn't know how to clean or cook..only how to drink and be annoying

Answer 9

You know what's sad? You have made a reasoned and logical argument, without name calling or hatred. The ONLY answers you will get that oppose your point of view will contain nothing but insults and blind hatred. I can guarantee you, that you will not get a single answer with an opposing view point that is calm, reasoned, or logical.

I've seen questions on here that ask who our biggest enemy is. Well here's my answer: Us. We are our own worst enemy because we spend too much effort calling each other names instead of fixing real problems.

Answer 10

Sorry Mr. Criminal...I have no trespassing signs posted...I can shoot you and it's legal.

Answer 11

This is old stuff, I've read it a lot of times in this forum.
