The Bird Feeder

The other day my friend Michelle Collins sent me an email (her son Aric Hackler, USMC is currently serving in Iraq with GySgt Eric Jazak, Greg Bird and Paul Daniel ... can you just imagine this crew serving together in Iraq, ... I love it.) Anyway, Michelle emailed another great analogy on the "illegal immigrant" situation.
Remember, America's problem is not with people who come to America, sign up proper-like, get a Social Security number, pay taxes, and participate in the "American way of life." Let's face the facts 90% of our ancestors did the same thing. The problem is with the ones that sneak in and now are DEMANDING RIGHTS!!
To me, this is a very simple problem to solve. I'm sure somewhere (I know this as a fact) there are rules about Legal and Illegal Aliens. JUST FOLLOW THE RULES and the problem is solved! There is no gray areas, ... it's black and white, ... if you aren't registered with an immigration office, ... buh bye!
Enjoy the following, ...
I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it 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. 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...quite, 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, free education, and allows anyone born here to be a automatic citizen.
Then the illegals came by the tens of thousands. Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services, small apartments are housing five families, you have to wait six hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor, and your child's 2nd 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.
Maybe it's time for the government to take down the bird feeder.
It looks like a wall is finally being built across the southern part of the United States with plenty of supervised check points for legal immigrants and foreign visitors with the proper paperwork to visit the greatest country in the world, ... and keep illegal immigrants out. Wow! ... It looks like some of our Government Officials have grown a set of "seeds" themselves!
