I have in the past, and without a moment of indecision would again, give employment to someone I suspect but cannot prove, may be an undocumented worker, ..yes, AN ILLEGAL ALIEN!

Since you're such a marvelous cook, I assume the possible illegals that you hired were restaurant workers. Well, let's use the restaurant as an example. Chances are people call and make reservations to eat at your restaurant. They show up, give their names, and wait until their names are called. Then they sit down, enjoy your wonderful cooking, pay, and leave.

But suppose someone did not want to make reservations? Suppose he did not want to pay? Suppose he just showed up at the restaurant, shoved his way to the front of the line, demanded to be served, and insisted that the patrons at Table 8 pay for his meal? That is just what is happening in our country.

Sure, the guy who does this might be "poor." He might just be "looking for a better meal." He might even be a real swell guy if you sat down and had a beer with him. But you can't blame the other patrons of the restaurant, the ones who are playing by the rules, for being furious with him. And you can't blame the patrons at Table 8 for balking at paying his bill. Chances are you'd boot the guy out of your restaurant, right? Well, that's all we're saying. Play by the rules or get kicked out of the restaurant.

I'll tell you, this is one hell of a post, and a perfect analogy. This post was not a TKO, it was a perfect knock out!

Outstanding!
