Correction Needed

Today has been billed as the National Day of Action on Immigrants' Rights with protests scheduled to have hundreds of thousands of participants. As a person who believes that words have specific meanings, this is disingenuous. Immigrants have the rights of any other American citizen. I doubt they would complain.

The protests have nothing to do with immigrants, defined as those people granted citizenship after completing the requirements of the immigration process. Hundreds of thousands of protesters are demanding rights for trespassers, not immigrants.

By any conventional logic, today should be billed as the National Day of Action on Trespassers' Rights. Maybe it's just me, but granting rights to people who break into your house is like having dead people vote in elections. It makes no sense. It makes even less sense that the trespassers are making demands. Note that if somebody breaks into my house, he's not getting dinner.

Of course, we can all thank the mainstream media for intrinsically fostering the situation by redefining the English language to further their leftist political preferences. Therefore, unhappy homosexuals become "gay," terrorists become "militants or freedom fighters," abortion becomes "planned parenting," and trespassers become "immigrants."

I believe my thesaurus should be corrected to list "immigrant" and "trespasser" as synonyms. And the next time I go hunting, I'm going to ignore the "No Trespassing" signs because I'll be immigrating and demanding that the farmer stop scaring the deer.
