So I`ve been thinking that this whole immigration issue is like Easter Sunday at my family`s house. A bunch of people start showing up – a lot of them, mind you, I really don`t want to see. But the reason why I don`t want to see them has nothing to do with race, it has to do with being human. Human beings are weird creatures in that we resist things that aren`t comfortable – so when someone drops by unannounced, or perhaps with a date you immediately assume is pompous, stupid and covered in cheap cologne – you take an instant dislike. Essentially, we’re an irritable bunch, and the people we take it out on are the those unfamiliar types that show up without a proper invite.
But here`s what I know about parties: I`ve thrown a crapload of them, and yes, most of the time I’ve been drunk. But the key to a good party is accepting people into the throng not because of what they can do for you, but because they can`t do anything for you…yet.
You just never know.
See, it`s not about immigration, it`s about assimilation. Allowing people into this country, as Jason Riley of the Wall Street Journal points out in his book “Let Them In: The Case for Open Borders,” is where we`re all naturally cranky. We were cranky about the Irish, the Germans, the Italians. We`ve always relished being the world`s worst doorman. But once these folks assimilate, that crankiness goes away. It`s just like a party – once people get a drink into their hand and the conversation gets going – the more the merrier.
It`s time that we look at Mexicans not as irritants and illegals, but folks who are literally dying to get into the party.
If only to wash the dishes.
We should let them.
