What Colbert said at the end of the hearing that the media isn't showing you. Probably because it is serious and not funny. God, I love this man!
The serious part of Colbert's remarks
The last question and answer of the hearing below...
CONGRESSWOMAN JUDY CHU: Mr. Colbert, you could work on so many issues, why are you interested in this issue?
COLBERT: I like talking about people who don't have any power. And this seems like some of the least powerful people in the United States are migrant workers who come and do our work but don't have any rights as a result. And yet we still invite them to come here, and at the same time ask them to leave. And, you know, whatsoever you do for the least of my brothers, these seem like the least of our brothers, right now. And I know that a lot of people are the least of my brothers because the economy is so hard, and I don't want to take anyone's hardship away from them or diminish it or anything like that, but migrant workers suffer, and they have no rights."

By the way, I was touched that the last part of Colbert's comments were out of character. It was the real Stephen Colbert talking from the heart......and the Republicans hate what he said and disagree with his comments 100%!

It's not just Republicans who are angry, Democrats are too. In fact, it was a democrat that asked Colbert to leave.

Anyway, as a Republican I find Colbert hilarious and loved his testimony.
