Stephen Colbert testified before congress on Friday during a hearing called "Protecing America's Harvest." The Comedy Central Host appeared alongside United Farm Workers (UFW) President Arturo S. Rodriguez during a House panel hearing on immigration, citizenship, refugees, border security, and international law, according to the Huffington Post. Colbert's comedic testimony was intended to disprove the theory that illegal immigrants are taking jobs away from American citizens. Fox news reports that although many politicians critized Colbert's testimony Nancy Pelosi felt that it was appropriate because he has the ability to "bring attention to an important issue."
