Funny thing heard at work
So, I’m eating lunch and I hear a couple of coworkers talking about illegal immigration. One says to the other “they are only doing it (comming here illegally) to better themselves and their lives” this said with straight face belive it or not… I kinda chuckled and received the dirty look and the question “you have a problem with people trying to better themselves?” Here is what I responded with. “No, I do not have a problem with people trying to better themselves, but…I do have a problem with them breaking the law to do so. Look at it this way. They are breaking federal law and now state law by comming here illegally. They are breaking federal and state laws by using fake or stolen id. To top it off they are teaching their children that it’s ok to break the law to “better yourself”.” I now posed this question to them. “Since you think it’s alright to break the law to better yourself and your situation how about I steal your truck or your money to better my situation?” “no? you don’t like that idea?” “well, that is exactly what they are doing to every law abiding, tax paying citizen of this country.” “they are getting free health care and free schooling, free food (food stamps), and i’m paying for it.” this of course was met with blank stares and the usual comeback of “you just don’t understand…”
