immigration rallies...are these people out of their minds!?

I see this stuff all over the news today- "immigration rallys" which should read- "mass hysteria over ILLEGAL occupants"

I consider myself a fairly open, easy going person...and I have nothing against people who are down-trodden and attempt to improve their position in life my moving to a different country. BUT...and there is always a but. I do not approve of their illegal activities. All of these protesters are pushing for the United States government to make all of these illegal aliens residents...why?

I read a great analogy today from one of my coworkers of which is basically transposed below:

Recently large demonstrations have taken place across the country protesting
the fact that Congress is finally addressing the issue of illegal immigration.

Certain people are angry that the US might protect its own borders, might make it harder to sneak into this country and, once here, to stay indefinitely.

Let me see if I correctly understand the thinking behind these protests. 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:

a. You are Required to let me stay in your house
b. You are Required to add me to your family's insurance plan
c. You are Required to Educate my kids
d. You are Required to Provide other benefits to me and to my family

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 to learn MY LANGUAGE!!! so you can communicate with me.

Why can't people see how ridiculous this is?!

Please, if you agree with this line of thinking spread this gem of an analogy around to your friends and keep it going.

On a side note- If they want to bring these illegals into our country as citizens we had better go through every last one of them with a fine tooth comb and take care of all the criminals and psychotics right now. We have enough loonies in our midst as it is, we don't need Mexico's problems too.
