It's time for us to stop being polite..... (don't get me wrong, I do
like birds)

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 an
    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 5 families:
    you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor:
    you 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.

Great analogy.
Maybe the birds would fly up to Cananda.
Not that I would wish that on our northern friends.
We just need to stop the hand-outs.

Then again, if we just took away all the free benefits and the jobs from anyone that is not a legal immigrant, they would not have any reason to stay here and would go back home.  That can happen if we pass laws,  prosecute and put heavy fines and/or jail time on any employers who hire illegals.  Sure would beat putting up fences.Angry
