Steven Colbert was recently invited to testify before Congress concerning immigration reform and the need for an AgJobs Bill that would allow for legal status for those immigrants who help harvest America’s food.
The selection of Colbert was due in part because he focused on the plight of workers and spent one day pretending to work as a migrant worker.
Is this really a good use of the Committee’s time? Did the committee think it was going to learn something from a Comedian? Obviously not, my only thought was that the Committee wanted to bring attention to the matter. Otherwise – whats the point?
