"I say let the prisoners pick the fruits," said Rep. Dana Rohrabacher of California, one of more than a dozen Republicans who took turns condemning a Senate bill that offers an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants an opportunity for citizenship.Sadly, or not surprisingly, depending on where you are, this isn't really a Republican vs. Democrat issue. Not surprisingly, the Republicans are better at playing the jack-boot role.
