Is this how things work nowadays?

If you are doing something illegally, and the people you are doing this illegal act against decide to defend themselves, does this give you the right to scream and wail at them for not allowing you to continue committing this illegal act against them?

Is this how things work nowadays?

The Palestinians did this against Israel with the Israeli wall building, and now the Mexicans are getting in on the act against the U.S.

Read this and shake your head in dismay.

The U.S. Government is planning on building a security fence across OUR border with Mexico to prevent ILLEGAL Mexican Immigrants from sneaking into the U.S. *gasp*

Nowhere in that article does the Mexican Government or anyone else for that matter realize that all immigrants need to do to immigrate to America is to go through the proper channels. That's it. And those people will be able to travel to America and work here, LEGALLY, and send their money back home if they wish.

It's not xenophobia, or anything else, as a matter of fact, the vast majority of all immigrants prior to the so-called 'Mexican Invasion' had LEGAL PAPERWORK. Chinese, Vietnamese, Swedes, Irish, Germans, Norwegians, Egyptians, etc. etc.

Let me try an example: my neighbor has this awesome pool and hot tub, and I want to go use it because I don't have one on my property, and I know if I go relax in it for a while I will become more relaxed and my family back at home will benefit from my less stressful self. So I sneak across into the neighbors backyard in the middle of the night to use the pool - I have a great time and call my family back at home and they are greatly pleased that I am relaxed and enjoying myself. Well before long, my neighbors next to me catch wind of what I'm doing and they sneak in and use the neighbor's pool also, to the benefit of their families. We continue to do this unimpeded for years. Well, finally, the owner of the pool decides enough is enough when he tires of his pool being used so much that it becomes very dirty, the filtration system clogs, and he needs money to repair it. Well, he decides that the main problem is the illegal use of his pool by his neighbors, who aren't being very neighborhly, and his pool isn;t designed to handle that much use without proper mainteenance, and he decides to do something about it.

So he comes to my house and knocks on my door. I answer. The neighbor pleads, 'Excuse me, Sir, could you please stop using my pool illegally at night, I will allow to you to use it anytime, but please ask permission of me first and chip in 3 dollars each time you use it to help pay for its maintenance so we can all enjoy it!'

'No way!' I say. Knowing full well he won't do anything to stop me from sneaking into his back yard, using his pool and enjoying myself, all the time not having to help maintain it or anything. What a deal! I begin telling all my neighbors about this wonderful backyard that has such a great pool in it, and it becomes part of my family's stories and lifestyle. So I keep on using his pool, many, many more nights, until the pool once again becomes clogged and needs maintenance.

My neighbor decides to build a fence so I can't continue to sneak into his back yard and use his pool. I go next door and knock on his door.

'What do you think you are doing! this is an outrage! You are changing my lifestyle and all of my neighbors! I think you are Anti-Curley and xenophobic because you raised this fence to keep me out of your yard! This is all our territory and you are violating my rights to play in your pool! I demand that you tear down this fence, I will organize an international protest against your fence because it violates my human rights!'

The neighbor replies, 'All you have to do is ask my permission and help chip in for maintenance, and you're welcome here.'

I think you get my point.

What's the big deal here?
