I hate to rain on your parade but this whole thing is one big publicity stunt for Colbert’s idiotic rally in Washington D.C.
Personally, I can’t wait to see clips of Colbert doing his standup schtick on Capitol Hill, it just sounds grotesque.
I really don’t see the American public bubbling over with sympathy for illegals right now. We can’t afford it.
Seems to me they are perfectly capable of doing that on their own.
Google for his BIO to learn more of why his upbringing made him pro open borders.
"Although by his own account he was not particularly political before joining the cast of The Daily Show, Colbert has described himself as a Democrat according to a 2004 interview.[77][78] In an interview at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard Institute of Politics, he stated that he has "no problems with Republicans, just Republican policies"

All the reports I read were that he was to be appearing “in character”. That means as a faux conservative. As I posted on another thread, that means this is an attempt to marginalize and ridicule those who oppose amnesty.
The whole idea of a comedian testifying in character is absurd. If I were on the committee, I couldn’t keep a straight face, and wouldn’t.
Why don’t the Republicans subpeona Don Rickles to testify on organized crime in the casino industry, based on Rickles’ work in “Casino”?
Makes about as much sense.
If you are in District 19 then vote for Edward Gonzalez. He is the opponent running against Zoe Lofgren.
The district runs from San Jose down to San Martin.
He is a terrific fellow. I met him back in June and really liked his message.

GOP reps should boycott the hearing..
You need help making idiots look bad? Give them a bigger platform and a louder bullhorn..... DONE!
Who the hell is Stephen Colbert?
Anyone who watched this and are interested, please call Zoe Lofgren’s phone in D.C. and let her staff know how you feel about her invitation to Colbert and the mockery made of both our system and the subject of ILLEGAL immigrant farmworkers. I did, and was given an argumentative earful right back at me!! This behavior was absolutely unacceptable, IMO.
