What are they smoking on Capitol Hill?
"I say let the prisoners pick the fruits," said Rep. Dana Rohrabacher of California, in this CNN.com article. What a great way to get an already unhealty American population to consume more fruits and vegetables. I know I'd rather eat fruit picked by a sociopath who's already blown his chance at life than by an immigrant who's hoping for a chance to give his family a better life. Who's going to change the linens in my hotel room where I've left my personal belongings while I go spend my day at the beach? another convict?
But more disturbing to me is seeing the main reason other members of the Republican party are supporting the guest worker legislation is for party preservation, not because it might enhance the lives of people who'd like to come live here. Have we forgotten Native Americans are the only group who did not enter this country looking for a better life. What's the difference between a person who enters through the Statue of Liberty or one who enters through the southwestern deserts?
