| Viewpoint: Can't thank country's leaders for loss of rights |
Regarding the "Buy a ticket" editorial in the Aug. 4 Review: The analogy is simple, you say -- America is like a sports event. The citizen is the ticketholder; the illegal immigrant the gate-crasher who has stolen his assigned seat. Since seating is finite, no one sits until someone else is displaced. Simple, you say.
