Illegal Immigrants

[RoadRunner79]

But you have a fancy new house, do you think that you should have a say, in who enters into it?   If I just let myself in, and started making myself a sandwich is that OK?    You could come home tomorrow, and find me and 20 other people having a Bible study in your living room.  I think that if we want to change immigration policies (and relax them); that is a different conversation from tolerating illegal immigrants.

As long as we're imagining analogies, let's make this one a little more accurate. The house is so big and so many people live there already that you might not see the people who moved in on a daily basis, 20 more is only a 3% increase. And they're willing to build extensions to the house. Some of the people in the house invited the 20 people to do jobs for them, and would benefit from more coming, and other people in the house want to forbid it, and want to press charges for trespassing even though the people who want to give them jobs have invited them in. But a lot are in between those two extremes.

And 87% of the people in the house support letting the kids who were brought into the house when they were minors stay. They feel they're reasonably part of the household now. The majority want the yard reasonably secure, but are happy with any kind of reasonable barrier, they don't want a wall around the whole place. There's no clear majority on whether letting them in under the current rules should be reduced, kept the same, or increased; but there's a clear majority against taking the children of the people coming in away from them, for some reason. The majority in the middle just wish the people who make the rules would hash out a reasonable compromise so they can all move on with their lives.

I don't have that big of a house, but I would think that someone entering it illegally, would still be wrong.
