I think we should change the law to make burglary legal. As long as no one gets hurt, why should we punish someone who breaks into your house and steals your electronics and jewelry. They’re just trying to support their families.

It’s hard work breaking into houses. And dangerous too! Maybe we should offer free health care to burglars! I mean, come on! Where’s you’re compassion? These people could be out of work for weeks if they cut themselves on the broken glass while climbing through your living room window with your flat screen TV. Who will feed their children in the mean time? Thieves are people too!!

I’m not talking about amnesty here! Noooo. I’m talking about treating these good people with the respect they deserve. We’ll just make sure they pay taxes on the income they get from pawning your grandma’s diamonds.

I hope that you’ve figured out by now that I’m not serious. I’m making a point. There are reasons we have laws against burglary. There are also reasons we have laws against sneaking across our borders. There are reasons we have laws that require you to have a valid social security number or work visa to get a job in the United States. Anyone who thinks we should change our laws to make previously illegal behavior legal needs to have an answer for every reason behind the existing law, and compassion alone is not a reason.

The current immigration reform is being driven by two forces that are usually complete opposites. First are the bleeding-heart, leftist liberals who just want everyone to get along and can’t grasp the notion that not everyone who sneaks across the border is pure of heart. “They’re just trying to support their families!” Second is big industry who sees the endless flood of unskilled labor as a way to cut costs without out-sourcing the work to India. “Do you know what will happen to the cost of cabbage if we got rid of all the illegals?!” This is the group influencing George Dub and it breaks my heart to see it.

Both are bunk! Illegal is illegal for a reason. That is why any “compromise” is equally bunk. That’s also why intelligent people who understand politics and the issues booed their US Senator when he tried to defend his actions in pushing through this latest immigration bill. Sen Graham, after speaking at his home state’s Republican convention, said, “Immigration got booed. It’s an emotional topic. People are mad.” (Read the whole story here.) Heck yeah, we’re mad! We’re made that our law makers are excusing law breakers.
