Here is my illegal alien allegory:
I drive to work in the morning, and I exit one highway to get on another (476N to 76W to be precise). The exit is always jammed, routinely backed up for half a mile before the ramp. I am a good boy, waiting in line, maybe not too patiently, but waiting nonetheless, sometimes for 20 minutes+. Without exception, there will be several cars (and trucks) that are not in the turning lane wizzing by and will cut in right before the ramp. Most will not even WAVE TO SAY THANK YOU. When I first started this commute, I figured these people are new to the area and didn't realize this is where the ramp is, brain farts, old people, etc. I have come to learn 99% of them are deliberate cuts in line. On top of it, they just don't give a crap about the people playing by the rules who now have a longer wait. Maybe they have a good "reason" like being late for work, etc. (but they all cease to be in such a hurry once they are on the ramp), but that DOES NOT F'ING MATTER. Many of us playing by the rules are also late but we have the respect for our fellow commuters not to cheat. But there was one glorious day...one day when right at the off-ramp, a PA police car sat facing oncoming traffic with the explicit intention of stopping the cutting in line. Guess what? NOBODY CUT IN. Even those who were planning on it got right back into line upon seeing the rules enforced (albeit still a cut, as they should have been at the very end of the line).
Moral of the story:
Me and others in line = legal immigrants waiting their turn playing by the rules because they respect America and our laws
Line cutters = illegal aliens who don't care a whit about what is fair or lawful, never having to pledge loyalty, only to make a quick buck
Police car = fence from San Diego, CA to Brownsville, TX
And our representatives in Washington are confused as to why there is such an outcry from both the right and the left over this "immigration reform bill"??? WHY ISN'T THE FENCE BUILT ALREADY?!? FINISH IT NOW!!!
THEN and ONLY THEN can we talk about "reform".
