open borders and no doors on the house

i get into

a big argument with my wife

over politics.

i may be

sleeping on the couch

for a few

months because of it.

she says she

believes in open borders,

that we should

let everyone in.

come one come all.

give me your tired, your poor,

your downtrodden,

etc.

so i get out my

power tools

and take all the doors

off our house.

the front door, the back door,

the side

door,

the garage door.

she looks at me with her

hands on her hips and asks,

what are you doing?

why are you taking

all the doors off our house.

anyone can come

right on in

and kill us, or steal everything

we have.

we have little children

in our house. we need 

to protect them.

we can't let complete strangers

come into our

house when we know

nothing about them.

they could be mentally ill,

or hardened

criminals.

exactly, i tell her.
