More viral propaganda forwarded to me by my sister-in-law. I have reproduced it here verbatim (minus the attention-getting garish graphics and the racist caricatures of Mexicans).

This is not just the racist redneck rant, this is is written for dumb rednecks by someone who knows exactly what he's doing and why. Someone with an agenda. In the polite circles we travel in, we don't really get to see just how much of this filth is bouncing around cyberspace. It's political spam, and although it may not cost much to propagate, someone is taking the time to write it.

an explanation of illegal immigration......

Let's say I break into your house

A lady wrote the best letter in the Editorials in ages!!! It explains things better than all the baloney you hear on TV.

Her point:
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, "No! I like it here.
It's better than my house. 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:

You are Required to let me stay in your house
You are Required to feed me
You are Required to add me to your family's insurance plan
You are Required to Educate my kids
You are Required to Provide other benefits to me & to my family
(my husband will do all of your yard work because
he is also hard-working and honest, except for that
breaking in part).

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

Why can't people see how ridiculous this is?! Only in America. if you agree, pass it on (in English).
Share it if you see the value of it.

If not blow it off...........
along with your future Social Security funds, and a lot of other things.

Hey, if you don't want aliens coming into the country to take your job, don't complain to me about it. I'm not hiring them, I work here too.

Complain to your boss, HE's the one who's giving them a job so he doesn't have to pay YOU a living wage. Even better, tell your congressman you want laws passed that will send employers to jail or hit them with stiff fines if they hire illegal aliens. Otherwise, you won't vote for him any more.

I'm sick and tired of people whining about the foreigners coming here. They come here because American companies hire them. It's that simple, and the solution to the problem is that simple too. Throw a few of these crooked businessmen in jail or fine the crap out of them and this nonsense will stop, and you won't have to spend a fortune rounding these people up and deporting them, or building a wall across the border, or throwing them in jail, or putting the army on patrol.

C'mon guys, it doesn't take a mental giant to figure this out. Who's getting rich by bringing these people here? Just follow the money. THAT's who's causing the problem. Now what I want to know is how come the guy who started this email didn't come up with the obvious solution to the problem?
