Just A Thought

The immigration issue stirs so much emotion in every discussion, I've seen. Nothing better illustrates that than the exchange last week with Geraldo and Bill O' Reilly. When I actually heard what was really being said closer, the whole discussion appeared more and more absurd. This is an interesting illustration I heard about recently:
How would you react if you come home and see a group of people if your fridge, using your bathroom, driving your car, etc... How would you react if you had to pay for whatever they needed, cook for them. feed them, cloth them, and everything else just because they decided to invite themselves in your house and yet if you kick them out and force them to ask before they ever come back, you're considered racist, cold, and insensitive. Lets be real, if we see people using what we pay for (and work hard for) in our personal homes many of us may embrace the gun laws willfully and happily. (LOL). Isn't this the same predicament we face in our country? The fact is that the United States is our house (may want to watch "Pride: to appreciate that one) Illegal immigrants come to our country, use our benefits, expect the rights than many people died for in our history. (and yes I do know the history of hispanics in the United States). Hispanics do have a great standing in our economy and there are many bigger issues at work but my point is when discussing the issue, its time to stop the justification and excuses being used and get to some real logical conversation.
