Imagine a street. Run down, not very appealing, but at the end of the street is a nice big house with a swimming pool.
All the people in the street envy the big house and want to live there. But until recently they were only invited in occasionally for a brief visit.
Now people have started moving into the spare rooms of the house and camping in the garden, and the family that built the house are finding it cramped and noisey.
But the people from the other houses have now started inviting their friends and families over too andf things are becoming really crowded, AND the family who owns the house are being told they have to queu for the bathroom like everyone else.
Is it not unfair that the people who built the house now have to share it, especially as they didn't invite the others to do so?

This is our country. It may have once belonged to different people...but I don't see France over here complaining that we paid them a low price for Louisiana and demanding to come over here and get free education, health care, food and housing.
If Mexico's previous leaders did a poor job managing the land they had and lost it in war or sold it for a bargain, that's just going to have to be called a learning experience. They should stop crying about it and fix what's left of Mexico instead of coming over here and trying to steal it back.
Thanks for a great analogy!

If you ask a Liberal they would say "Yes it is fair" .They think that those with more and have worked hard to earn it should give more to those who do not and will not work to better themselves.
Ask a Conservative and they will say.."Hell no that ain't right"
This country was first populated by, then later founded by people searching for the right to life liberty and PROPERTY. This country was the first to allow the COMMON Person to OWN something that wasn't given to them by someone higher up or by the church. They would also tell the people in their house to get out and work to build their own place to take care of their family.
unfortunately socialists in this country believe that because the person on that street having a nice home has to mean that they somehow made it impossible for the others to build a nice home.
As though there is only a certain amount of ambition available and the people with a nice home somehow took it all..
... ridiculous.

You are correct, it is not fair to the people who built the house and bore the expense of construction, as well as the labor of performing the task. Yet, many supporters of illegal immigration don't see it like this. Saddly, what you failed to mention in your scenario is how the nice big house at the end of the street will eventually resemble the other houses in the run down neighborhood, as the uninvited guests eventually run it into the ground.

If we can't go back to respecting private property again, we are going to be another Venezuela. Your analogy IS Venezuela, and it used to be a nice place!

The socialist/communist credo was always 'to each according to his needs, from each according to his means' etc...communism was largely regarded as a failure...didn't really encourage anyone to do anything..
