The chair of the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee's subcommittee on immigration invited Stephen Colbert, host of the show "The Colbert Report" to testify before the committee. Colbert took a challenge offered by the United Farmworkers to America, asking them to "Take Our Jobs" if they thought illegal immigrants should not be picking crops. Colbert worked for one day on a farm. One of the committee members commented that amnesty supporters should consider real jobs that required hard labor instead of sitting behind a desk, a jab at Colbert. Colbert's appearance packed the committee room, something that has not happened since impeachment proceedings for Bill Clinton.
