Knock, Knock!!!

I feel safe saying the majority of us have enjoyed company in our home both invited and uninvited. The accepted and courteous procedure of gaining entry into one's home is to use the front door and announce your arrival by either door bell or some sharp raps on the door. The occupant of the abode then makes a decision as to whether to allow you entry and entertain your company or turn you away,(as the case with unwanted solicitors).

Suppose if you will, while you were busy at the front door, dealing with company , someone gained access to your home through the back! They barged in, uninvited and simply made themselves comfortable, taking advantage of all the amenities your residence has to offer. They raid the fridge, use the bathroom, put their channel on TV, pretty much take over all the comforts you worked so hard to attain. We'd all call that rude, discourteous, and despite our patience and good manners ask them to leave.

Follow me a little further here...., they refuse, offering the excuse your stuff is so much nicer and newer than what they have in their home. What's worse is they make no effort to adapt to the norm, simply refusing to be good guests, and demand you change to accommodate them. Could the possibly have anymore gaul, or be any ruder?

It would be accepted procedure at this point to call law enforcement and ask them to escort these intruders off your property. Your patience is tried, and you've done the best you could as a courteous host to politely suggest if they wish to visit they should come to the front door and request entry as all other guests do. The police arrive and tell you since they look pretty comfortable, and seem to live there, they can't do anything.

Ain't that a fine ball of wax? Uninvited and unwanted you lose your cool and take matters into your own hands. Time for them to go! Would anyone blame you for being fed up? Well apparently the liberals of this nation would. Make those uninvited guests, illegal aliens, and your home Arizona. That changes the equation, With that small switch, suddenly those abusive unwanted intruders are "entitled" to be there, and any action you take to remove them is "racist."

Why do the rules of etiquette apply to your house, but not your country? Why is a rude forceful entry, void of manners and every accepted practice, allowed by "illegal" immigrants? If they come to our front door and request admittance, we'd surely invite them in. We love to entertain guests, well, invited ones.....

God Bless!
