Does a Movie Theater Analogy Work for You (Illegal Immigration)?

[DGS49]

Lefties these days are presenting all sorts of "arguments" why it is wrong to pursue illegals as aggressively as the Trump Administration is doing. They are not hurting anyone. They are doing jobs that Americans won't do. The economy would collapse without their labor. They are paying taxes. Blah, blah, blah.

This all ignores the fact that we have LAWS prohibiting people from coming into the country in this way, but nobody apparently cares.

I liken illegal immigration to sneaking into a movie theater from the back entrance.

There are several proper ways to get into a movie theater. You can buy a ticket, you can get a season pass, you can get a free, complimentary pass, or you can be a paid guest of someone who is otherwise properly there.

But many people sneak in without paying. Should they be expelled?

You could say,

• There are plenty of seats; nobody is prevented from coming in properly because of their presence.
• They are not disrupting anything.
• They are buying the overpriced snacks and drinks, which contributes to the success of the theater.

But those things don't change the fact that they have no right to be there. It doesn't change the fact that good people are still standing in line and paying to get in, and the masses of people sneaking in makes the good people look like fools.

And once they have been in the theater for a while, they will claim they have a RIGHT to be there.

It works for me. I don't care if illegals are law abiding or have jobs or pay taxes; they need to go, and the Authorities need no more reason to apprehend and expel them than the simple fact that they are here illegally.

Prove me wrong.

I agree, It comes down to whether were a country of laws or we are not

To be accurate, the movie theater owners would be the ones secretly opening the back exit letting them in so that they would work in the theater.

I've seen patrons do that more often.

 

[Zincwarrior]

I've seen patrons do that more often.

Agreed, but we are talking about the scenario.

Agreed, but we are talking about the scenario.

And the scenario I've seen most often is the patrons = citizens/"immigrants" doing it rather than the management/owners.
