This is worth the read.  Great  analogy.
I bought a bird feeder.
I hung it on my back porch  and filled
i with seed. What a beauty of
A bird feeder it was, as  I filled it
lovingly with seed. Within a
Week we had hundreds of  birds
Taking advantage of the
Continuous flow of free  and
Easily accessible food.
But then the birds  started
Building nests in the boards
Of the patio, above the  table,
And next to the barbecue.
Then came the poop. It  was
Everywhere: on the patio tile,
The chairs, the table  ..
Everywhere!
Then some of the birds
Turned mean. They  would
Dive bomb me and try to
Peck me even though I had
Fed  them out of my own
Pocket.
And others birds were
Boisterous  and loud. They
Sat on the feeder and
Squawked and screamed  at
All hours of the day and night
And demanded that I fill  it
When it got low on food.
After a while, I couldn't  even
Sit on my own back porch
Anymore  So I took down  the
Bird feeder and in three days
The birds were gone. I  cleaned
Up their mess and took down
The many nests they had  built
All over the patio.
Soon, the back yard was like
It  used to be .... Quiet, serene....
And no one demanding  their
Rights to a free meal.
Now let's see.
Our government  gives out
Free food, subsidized housing,
Free medical  care and free
Education, and allows anyone
Born here to be an  automatic
Citizen.
Then the illegal's came by the
Tens of  thousands.  Suddenly
Our taxes went up to pay for
Free  services; small apartments
Are housing 5 families; you
Have to  wait 6 hours to be seen
By an emergency room doctor;
Your child's  second grade class is
Behind other schools because
Over half the  class doesn't speak
English.
Corn Flakes now come in  a
Bilingual box; I have to
'press one ' to hear my bank
Talk to  me in English, and
People waving flags other
Than 'Old Glory'  are
Squawking and screaming
In the streets, demanding
More  rights and free liberties.
Just my opinion, but maybe
it's  time for the government
To take down the bird feeder.
If you  agree, pass it on; if not,
Just continue cleaning up the  poop.
