Another side to the same story ?

The Bird Feeder.
( I 
Haven't heard it put this way before, but it's a great analogy.

)

I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back patio and 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 shit. It was everywhere: on the patio tiles, 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 our Flag
 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.
