  • A new take on immigration !

    I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed. What a beauty of a bird feeder it is 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 other 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 in my own back garden 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 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 the Union Jack 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, continue cleaning up the poop!
    If it 'ain't broken........ Don't try to mend it !

      You can always count on the poorly informed and easily swayed to come up with a retarded simplistic analogy to a complex and vast problem.

      This is completely wrong. Your taxes didnt go up to pay for any social services. Small apartments have BEEN housing large poor families since this country was born. You don't have to wait 6 hours to see a doctor because you have insurance. Your child is going to a private school or a school in a white neighborhood that gets 3x the funding as poorer communities.

      This is classic blaming of immigrants for the ailments of a society on the whole.

      Again, if you're so concerned about where your money is going, why not oppose the billions + dollars a day going to Iraq.

            He's British, and Union Jack is the British flag, isn't it ?
            Not everything evolves around US.

              Agreed. They're too easy to blame everything on so that's what people do.
              Not that I'm saying illegal immigration is right, but still.

                And for the record, I don't think any of us has a problem with immigrants (legal ones). The US is a country built upon immigrants. It's only the illegals that are being spoken of in this analogy.

                  It's not like the whole box is in Sanskrit or something. Maybe I don't get out much, but I've never seen a giant box that said "Maize Flakos" at the store, they all said Corn Flakes, except for what, the nutritional facts on the back? Like any fatasses over here read those anyway.
                  Secondly, it's not like Corn Flakes are a rare commodity in non English speaking countries. If they want to make money then it only makes sense to do this. I don't see that many Europeans in an outrage because there's so many different languages in the EU.

                    I highly doubt they sell bilingual corn flakes in the Old Blighty, so I'm pretty sure he was talking about the US. Now get into your imaginary Audi and scoot!

                      I don't think you can sum it up any better than that.

                      And are we talking about the US or England anyway?

                        I wouldn't be so sure that they don't sell bilingual corn flakes in the Old Blighty, so I'm sure he was talking about UK. Now get back to checking the heading and making sure you take off from the right runway!

                            Sure, Pat, 'cause there is such a huge wetback population in the UK. Man, it must really suck to be you.

                              There's more to this one than humor. I mean, how many Republicans do you think laugh their ass off to The Daily Show with Jon Stewart?
